Audio: Hannity wonders why Democrats don’t pay taxes
posted at 6:59 pm on February 2, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Some might say that Sean Hannity is being unfair to Democrats, but they’re the ones who provide the examples. With Al Franken and Charles Rangel already exposed for their serial tax evasions, the last thing Democrats needed was a couple more high-profile examples — but Barack Obama provided them anyway as Cabinet appointments. And four does start looking more like a trend:
Here’s the question. Why don’t liberals pay taxes? We kept hearing the Caroline Kennedy had a tax problem. Timothy Geithner has a tax problem. The committee that writes tax law, the House Ways and Means Committee, well their chairman Charlie Rangel, whoops sorry, he failed to report seventy-five thousand dollars in income. Oh it’s a hiccup, it’s not a problem, and of course we have I guess, the hero of every liberal is Al Franken and Al Franken didn’t pay his taxes in what, eighteen states or whatever it was at the time. I mean just absurd.
To be fair, we don’t know that Caroline Kennedy has tax problems; that was just one rumor among several that got floated as a reason for her withdrawal from consideration as a replacement for Hillary Clinton. I don’t think I’d characterize Franken as a “hero of every liberal” either. I’ve met more than a few that are embarrassed by his presence, although not nearly enough. Still, four looks less like coincidence and more like a pattern of people who want to jack up taxes while doing their best to keep from paying them.

Why is anybody surprised? It’s always the liberals who want to tell the “unwashed masses” what to do, but they’re just little people. Liberals are “thinking” people, “enlightened” to the point that their mere presence on the planet is sufficient to cover not only their unpaid taxes, but their carbon footprint to boot.

I’m no lawyer but isn’t tax evasion up there with SEC violations? If so, then Martha Stewart should be screaming bloody murder. She was sent away for a year and forced to live without her glue gun and sauce pans and yet, other common criminals are getting appointed to cabinet positions.

Maybe,in the Liberal mindset,
there not paying taxes,cause
there sticken it,to the man,
accept,in government,they are the man,
or,if confirmed,will be!!

Look, I still like all of you. I feel that this is a good place to go so that I can find opposing viewpoints. I get tired of groupthink whevever it might be, a conservative point of view or liberal point of view.
Don’t get so angry. It’s not personal. I think it’s fun. If you allow this stuffto be personal, you’ll be like some liberals have been for the past eight years.
And as for Dick Morris; this thread gave me an opportunity to criticize someone that I believe is a scumbag. And for right4life; he contiues to go on tv, along with other conservative pundits, to say that Al Franken is “stealing” the election. That’s not true. The process has been incredibly transparent. And I don’t even like Franken that much. I do, however, like him much more than I like Coleman.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 8:53 PM
On the matter of dropping in value
Getalife now throws in Palin too
He can’t defend Franken, Rangel, Geithner nor Daschle
So he is becoming increasingly frantic as to what else to do
Cheshire Cat on February 2, 2009 at 8:53 PM
Yes… But will you denounce these tax cheats. And admit that Obama should look harder and find people that are more qualified… As in can at least manage their own taxes.
RalphyBoy on February 2, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Oh, that feels so good to hear that. Glad you’re having fun. You succeeded in hijacking the thread from Dem tax cheating to Dick Morris and AL Franken. I’m sure all your buddies will be proud. Now bugger off unless you want to defend your party crooks directly.

It’s an easy answer:

BobMbx on February 2, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Maybe he is trying to seek favor with Geithner so that he will block any IRS audit of any not a big deal “mistakes” in his own taxes that Hewitt has made.

And on that Dick Morris link… It lead me to this. So it looks like Palin is not counted as supporting the stimuleach. Only one, Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas has been sucked in by the One.

whats good for the goose is good for the gander…
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Liberals don’t pay taxes because the government exists to take money from others to give to them, not the other way around.
notagool on February 2, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Hey getalife. You also must remember that Joe the Plumber likely didn’t have expensive accountants working for him either. There is no excuse for Daschle and Geithner.
And again, Joe the plumber is a normal citizen and he got smeared for having tax problems. He also likely had to pay a fine on his what 1,000 dollars in back taxes. Where is the fine Daschle had to pay. I haven’t heard about it yet.
profgubler on February 2, 2009 at 9:05 PM
uh Franken IS stealing the election…like a typical democRAT…ie see the governor of WA.
I always find it interesting that its ALWAYS democRAT votes that are found in a reccount…never republican…
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:07 PM
mankai, in case you haven’t noticed, right4 is a classic authoritarian fundamentalist. Full on scripture quoting, fire and brimstone, if you don’t agree with me, then you are a communist, pinko, heathen, DemocRAT, kind of guy. In his world, no way you can be a conservative and hold a differing opinion on any subject whatsoever. I’m with you…Hannity is a lightweight. Spouts the same tired old talking points. Nothing original…all schtick.

Hog Wild on February 2, 2009 at 9:10 PM
I certainly do not condone or defend the tax problems. What these people are doing is wrong, but let’s not act like either party owns a monopoly with tax problems. That was my original point. Hannity criticizes Democrats on taxes, but frequently calls Dick Morris a great American.
Dick Morris’ tax issues make the others look like tiny blips. He owed millions with an ‘m.’
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Exactly.

I like Sean well enough, but I miss Alan. I never thought I’d say that, but an entire hour of Sean and his repeated talking points, talking points that I agree with most of the time, with no interruption drives me nuts. He needs a sparring partner to keep him in check. I hope they reconsider and put Juan Williams on with him
church on February 2, 2009 at 9:16 PM
If I can follow Joe Biden’s logic, Democrats do not pay their fair share of taxes because they are unpatriotic.
DrStock on February 2, 2009 at 9:18 PM
If I ever become President I promise to never appoint Dick Morris to a cabinet position let alone one that is over the IRS. If I run against Obama in 2012 will you send me a check?
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 9:19 PM
I recall the gist of a factoid regarding MA taxes from Jay Tea, formerly of Wizbang!: some years ago, a state tax hike was about to end. The difference in the increased amount was roughly one half of one percent (IIRC, between 5.2% and 5.8%). Renewing that hike was not popular with voters, so MA legislators made provision at tax time such that taxpayers could voluntarily pay the portion that was not renewed.
Guess how many MA residents voluntarily paid the higher tax bracket?
NONE.
BTW, don’t forget the wealth of the Kennedy clan, nor that of remarried Kerry. Neither Teddy (D-Chivas) nor Jawn (D-Clueless) elected to pay the higher tax bracket.
Nor is there any penalty for voluntarily overpaying Federal income taxes, either. In fact, others here have posted the link to the Treasury website outlining how individuals can make donations to retire the public debt.
When BJ Clinton was whining about how insulted he was that taxes were not increased to pay for the Iraq war, how much did he or his foundation elect to donate to retire the public debt?
NOTHING.
Democrat$: the Party of fair weather patriots, who never met a dollar you earn that they don’t want to tax and control – all so they can guarantee their political viability via their ability to grant and gain political favors.

All of these pikers say the same thing when they get caught: “Oops, I missed that one.”
But the U.S.’s insanely complex and confusing tax code (that they helped create and maintain) forces millions of businesses and individuals in this country to pay the “hidden tax” of hiring tax professionals to keep themselves out of just these situations.
None of them blamed their accountant. Do they have tax accountants? Do they realize the miserable burden that is just part of normal life for so many of having to pay someone to figure out how much you owe the government so you don’t loose your house, your business or your freedom?
These jokers belong in jail.
29Victor on February 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Having a different opinion on Hannity than you doesn’t constitute “stupidity” or “lies.”

tell me sandman,why hasn’t the IRS filed a lien against DASCHLE, or GEITHNER??? hmmm?? like they did against morris…why don’t those RATs have to pay any interest or penalties…kind of like RANGEL that good ‘RAT???
link
from your article
Geithner, Rangel, and Daschle made NO EFFORT to pay back taxes, faced no action from the IRS…hmmmmmmm…wonder why???
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:48 PM
oh but if I disagree, then I’m an ‘authoratarian fundamentalist’ that is a lie, from a wacko liar.
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:50 PM
MB4, you never know. I don’t think you’re ready, however. Start at a lower level, and work your way up.
F15Mech, I don’t know if he should get the seat or not. It does frustrate me that he has allowed this to happen, but on the other hand, he is probably the best person for this job. He has the respect of many of his former Senate colleagues, Democrats and Republicans. There must be a good reason that so many have this respect for him. Hopefully, those with an actual vote will retain all relevant information, and then make a decision that will be best for the American people.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Holy crap! Dick Morris failed to pay his taxes? What’s Obama going to nominate him for?
29Victor on February 2, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Oh, c’mon. Haha. He said he disliked Hannity, and you immediately accused him of being a Dem.
It's Vintage, Duh on February 2, 2009 at 9:51 PM
oh come one, I disagree and then I get lied about, and you have no problem with that, no surprise.
same old liberal BS talking points…or RINO…whats the difference??
if it quacks like a duck…
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:55 PM

F15Mech on February 2, 2009 at 9:58 PM
its pretty obvious what you are. of course you have no complaints about me being called names…no surprise.
hint: its a left-wing/RINO talking point that conservatives are whats wrong with the GOP…all you ‘RATs repeat the same old same old lies…it gets old..
and yes you sound like a ‘RAT.
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Let’s start with the facts about Joe the Plumber. It was widely reported that he had a tax lien of $1200. The county acknowledged that they had not notified Joe. It was then discovered that he, in fact, did not have a lien at all. Not widely reported by the leftard MSM.
nondhimmie on February 2, 2009 at 9:59 PM
right4life, they have no liens because they have already paid their taxes with interest. If you pay your bill, you will have no lien.
The object is to retrieve payment, and your friend Dick Morris will have the opportunity to pay his back-taxes. He still owes money. He has yet to fulfill his obligation. When he does, those liens will disappear.
Why do you think he’s on Fox News so much, promoting his book, website, column, or other projects. He’s working hard to pay this thing off. Next time you see him on tv, just listen for the amount of promotion.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Correction
“That never said all tax cheaters should be imprisoned.”
should be
“That said all tax cheaters should be imprisoned.”
F15Mech on February 2, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Why do Democrats cheat? First, note that, for all their generous programs, they never consider charity as a vehicle. As a matter of fact, most of them resist private donations and try to limit the scope of private charities.
It is widely recognized that there is an ingredient of sadism and jealously in their programs which leads to constantly inventing programs to punish those who are more sucessful than they are. If taxes punish, don’t pay them. Only masochists want to punish themselves.
I can’t claim to be a psychotherapist but liberals tend to be left brained and rebellous. Conservatives tend to respect authority and follow rules. Therefore, they pay taxes and respect law.
The major support for the above is actually simple. Namely, if they feel that their expansion of government has the impetus of caring for their fellow citizens, why be unwilling to pay for it?
IlikedAUH2O on February 2, 2009 at 10:03 PM
oh please, this is laughable….how long did it take to pay their taxes?? years…no problems with the IRS though, of course not!! has rangel even paid his yet??
so where was the IRS lien on Daschle and the rest of them??? the IRS wasn’t very interested in their tax problems obviously..
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 10:05 PM
no lien on Geithner obviously…after all those YEARS…yeah…some pigs are more equal than others…
right4life on February 2, 2009 at 10:08 PM
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:00 PM
This thread is not about Dick Morris. It is about Politicians who believe we should pay more taxes while they do not want to pay theirs.
And Vintage, if you do not like Hannity, that’s fine. This is America. Just remember, he has the number 2 nationally syndicated radio talk show and the number 2 cable news show in the country. So there are a lot of people who like him.
kingsjester on February 2, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I don’t know the complex tax laws as much as I would like, but like all laws, there are gray areas. Much of it has to with intent and the ability on the individual to make a deal with the IRS. They would much rather receive payment than send someone to prison. Payment plans are worked all the time.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:10 PM

Yah, I did rather doubt your sincerity.
And how, in the new Obama order, does one get any lower than being one of the peasants who does pay his taxes?
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 10:14 PM
I don’t care if you go or not. I don’t make any money off that site. It’s not even mine.
You accused me of being up liberal, I offered up proof that I wasn’t. You don’t care to look at it, because it would mean that your premise that everyone who doesn’t find Hannity substantive is a Dem/lib/RINO is wrong.
That’s where we are now.
It's Vintage, Duh on February 2, 2009 at 10:16 PM
When it comes to tax law no one underestands it even Tom can’t get it right the first time apparently.
So can we send him to prison (like he stated in 1998) or is he a pig more equal then others?
Just wondering
F15Mech on February 2, 2009 at 10:17 PM
No. Read the title. It’s about Hannity asking why Dems don’t pay taxes. All that I pointed out was, despite his frequency on Hannity’s show, Dick Morris has not been asked about his tax problems.
My comments were directed at the absurdity of Sean Hannity. Dick Morris was the example that I used, and some people didn’t like it, so they began to defend Dick Morris.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Well, if he did get away with not paying more taxes than Geithner and Daschle did and for longer than them maybe he will appoint him Michelle and his own personal tax adviser.
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Oh cut it out! I promised that if I became Prez, unlike Obama with Geithner nor Daschle, I would not appoint Morris to any cabinet position and you still refused to promise to send me a check if I ran for prez in 2012. You are just blowing smoke.
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Brave brave sir sandman he bravely ran away.
Take my hand were off to never never land.
F15Mech on February 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
MB4, I just meant that you should start at a lower level of government before running for President. That’s what I meant. And you never know; we might have more in common than you think. Maybe I would raise money for you. You seem like a good enough person.
sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:23 PM
I’m as conservative as you can get and I have to say Dick Morris is a scumbag. Not only is he a tax cheat but he frequented prostitutes. He was one of those named as being in the DC madames little black book. He worked for Clinton and advised him on his bimbo eruptions. He will do anything for a buck. He has no scruples and everytime I see him on Hannity I change the station.
church on February 2, 2009 at 10:23 PM
I was at a much higher position than “community organizer” over 30 years ago. Some would say higher than senator.
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 10:26 PM
If only he had stuck with the democrats he would be a shoe in for a cabinet position. I’ll bet he’s sorry now.
MB4 on February 2, 2009 at 10:30 PM

Oh, no. Not more attacks on community organizers.

sandman on February 2, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Let him spout his Greek mythology… that adds nothing Hannity’s ability to make an argument. And if he truly is a fundamentalist (in the purest historical sense), one look at Hannity’s silly “Beyond Belief” segment ought to shake some sense into him.
We shouldn’t settle for Hannity just because he’s “cute.”

right4life on February 2, 2009 at 10:51 PM
I can tell you’re a Hannity fan… you are incapable of making a logical argument.
Try this bit of stupidity on for size (using your ignorant method of analysis)… “How many votes for president did Hannity get? Hmmmm?” Or next time you criticize Obama, “How many votes did YOU get for president? Hmmmm?”
Your line of reasoning is so pitiful, it’s hardly worth addressing (as I doubt you have the mental capacity to comprehend how dismal and illogical it is).
Again, just because I don’t pitch in the majors, doesn’t mean I can’t be critical of the pitchers on my favorite team. So if I think a guy is all flash, but he can’t pitch worth a darn, I’m restricted from being critical because I don’t also pitch in the majors?
Hannity gets three PRIME hours a day and gets paid MILLIONS of dollars… for that we deserve someone who has the capacity to make the conservative argument not just repeat the same drivel incessantly. Hannity brings ZERO people into the movement, he just kisses up to the simple.
mankai on February 2, 2009 at 10:57 PM
And to think the left used tax liens against Joe the Plumber to eviscerate him.

1) Start blogging.
2) Try to impress doubleplusundead enough that he starts inviting co-bloggers, me included.
3) Write a few conservative/libertarian posts a day.
(All of this, mind you, while really being a liberal.)
4) Wait for a post on Sean Hannity.
5) Stand up for Dennis Miller, who I knew would get slammed by Hannity the Friday before.
6) Take up the uber-liberal position of wishing he was more of an intellectual conservative (i.e. Rush or Levin), instead of just dropping talking points ad nauseum.
All that work, just to get called out so quickly for the liberal I am!
It's Vintage, Duh on February 3, 2009 at 12:15 AM
right4, you’ve demonstrated your authoritarian fundamentalist bona fides time and time again on this site. In your very small world, your version of the truth is “The Truth”. Anybody who dares disagrees with you is stupid, a liar or both, and is doomed to burn in hell for all eternity. You believe in a literal translation of the Bible, you are a creationist, and in the bubble in which you reside, the ends always justify the means. Evidence, reason and rationality mean nothing to you, as you continue to cling to the dogma that rules your existence. In short, you are an authoritarian fundamentalist. You are NOT a conservative. Crawl back under your rock.

You’re all great Americans.

uh, didn’t I just read an article that 1 of every 100 americans is in jail or prison? sounds like the system is over flowing with criminals. let them try to put millions of tax evaders in jail. sound’s like a taxpayer revolt to me. ghandi would be proud.

That’s because we’re not part of the Obama Mania Media with tingly feelings running up and down our legs! (Quick, play the “Endless Love”/Chris Matthews mash up.)
P.S. – Did you hear that The Messiah descended from the heavens at Invesco Field, and has associations like Rev. Wright, Fr. Pfleger, and the *professor* terrorist Bill Ayers. After Sean Hannity gets done with his 4-5 minutes of intro audio sound bites at the beginning of each hour, he’ll tell ya all about it!

but, only if you fill out new w4 and mark “exempt”. great American’s don’t pay taxes. that’s today’s lesson kids. sounds good to me.

I wonder why Republicans don’t admit to using tax havens if such things have a moral benefit.
Clean out your own and see which right-wingers are tax cheats or have money that somehow is being hidden.
