The point is that Rangel and Daschle know that the tax code is kind of like the tipping code, setting out recommended levels of taxes based on your perceived satisfaction with the service. Daschle was so happy in 1998, I bet he overpaid that year… Under Bush? Not so much and he cut his taxes accordingly. I think that is a reasonable way to approach the government.

The mean-spirited fact-finders have determined that Tom Daschle is also a tax evader. Go figure.
ABC News has learned that the nomination of former Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-SD, to be President Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human…

This little tax cheat worm, Daschle, was the most disingenuous partisan of his time, yet GOP senators are going to roll over and accept his nomination without a fight. This just INFURIATES me.

Not a politican…just a working stiff who works two jobs to pay my bills. Thanks just the same Mr. Obama. I pay my own way. Don’t want the government to do it for me. It has something to do with integrity. Something your bunch doesn’t seem to know much about.

How about a bill stating that politicians have no statue of limitations (for taxes) as long as they are in office, since they have control of the process.

Amen. I’m pissed about this. This is a disgrace.

Daschle would have never reported his “glitch” if he hadn’t been vetted…you are right about that.
I knew exactly what you meant…he was waiting, just like the “new treasurey sec.” waited for his statute of limitations to run out.

The key to this is the filing dates…he only came “clean” when he was being vetted, otherwise we must assume he would have kept cheating the gov. on his taxes.

right2bright on February 2, 2009 at 11:33 AM

Sorry to all for the earlier lengthy entry. I found the WaPo article very confusing.

right2bright: I didn’t mean to suggest with “came clean” that Daschle was operating with a clean heart. Given that his payor was not going to fix the 2007 Form 1099-MISC to include the omitted $83,000 of cash compensation and had not issued (and presumably was not going to issue) him 2005, 2006, and 2007 Forms 1009-MISC for the limo service value, I’m convinced that Daschle was never going to report the income, unless ever forced to do so. He’s been holding his breath for the three-year statute of limitations to run on all three years.

The charitable contributions (about $15,000) are less significant, but he or his accountant have the obligation to confirm the tax-status of his charitable donees. It’s not that hard–you ask the donee if it has 501(c)(3) status or you look it up online (IRS Publication 78). Here’s the link, Daschle:

[...] There’s Timothy Geithner who failed to pay taxes, there’s Hillary Clinton who’s husband receives speaking fees from foreigners, and now there’s Tom Daschle, who, much like Geithner, made a “mistake” on his taxes. A mistake that ended up being worth $146,000 dollars. [...]

Eligible voters need to start getting off their arses & vote in Dem #s.

Dem voters outvote us by like twice!

Tom Douchebag was voted out in SD bcs they knew he was a cheat.
The SD big cities had kept him rolling in the power so finally the rural S. Dakotans went out & booted his butt out.
Perhaps they’d finally had it with him when he took private tours on the top of the Mt Rushmore heads-who knows.
But it’s amazing he’s being appointed for something.
Obama’s corruptive ties are amazingly well-documented & amazingly accepted by the elites.
If I knew people like that, I wouldn’t be able to buy a loaf of bread in my town!
