QuoteQuoteAnd when did McGreevey campaign for defense of marriage.. or any of the other Karl Rove issues you love so much..
He was an adulterer... he resigned... good for him... are you suggesting that every politician who has had an affair should resign???
Lets get John McCain to resign.. ok??
How about the good Senator from Lousiana???
I'm not stating anything of the sort - you're the one that is going on and on about homosexuality - so long as it's a Republican that's in the spotlight, that is.
You still dont get it.. me.. I dont care who the fuck they sleep with.... until they attack others for what they themselves are..
I am good with the job the people I have voted for are doing.. its you on the right that expect so much.... and get so little..
that is funny right there... expect so much.. and get so......little.. I guess that is in more areas ....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
QuoteIt IS offensive, but it's not a left/right thing. To repeat what I wrote earlier,
Over 20% of people who make $500k - $1M per year underreport their income according to the IRS.
THAT is what is really offensive. Yet the Bush administration cut back on IRS enforcement for the very group that contains the worst offenders.
So, what you are saying has nothing to do with principle. Obama takes a principled stand on responsible, transparent government. And now we have two cabinet appointees who didn't pay taxes. Everyone on the left is making excuses. It is a left right thing. Obama could earn HUGE points if he ousted these two bums. But IAW Chicago politics, he owes them something, and he needs to deliver. And yes he can.
The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

I think I'm agreeing with you.
OTOH, maybe it takes a thief to catch one.

No, the source is not IRS. The source is "Joel Slemrod, an economics professor and the director of the Office of Tax Policy Research at the University of Michigan's business school, and Andrew Johns, an IRS researcher". They claim to base it on the unpublished IRS source, but there is no confirmation about it, so the real question is, how trustworthy are those people. Even if their research is based on a real IRS source, they said nothing about how they calculated the percentage. This may have huge difference.

Maybe you missed this bit:
and Andrew Johns, an IRS researcher.
You might also look at Fig 7 in the following IRS publication:
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-news/tax_gap_report_final_080207_linked.pdf
which shows that some 70% of the underpaid tax is from the self-employed and small business owners - those pillars of Republican society.

No, I didn't. This part is even quoted in my own post. Note it doesn't say "IRS employee", and basically everyone who spends couple hours on irs.gov could call themselves "IRS researcher".
This, however, doesn't change anything I said - we do not even know if such report exists at all, and since it is not available, we cannot get a second opinion on it to see if the research was invalid or biased.

I love the way this thread has gone. If it were you or I who had not reported or paid then the IRS would be all over us , but not Congresspersons or Senators. And the fact that they "paid up" isn't the issue. The issue is that they would not have if it were not for the fact that they were being vetted for a cabinet position and the IRS would never have come after them. Hell, Guiethner (sp) was already past the statute of limitations on the IRS being able to go after him. Get a grip folks, THEY are different than you and I, but if you still want to support them that is your right, but I don't think it says a lot about some of you either.

Apparently Mr. Johns is an IRS EMPLOYEE (unless you really truly believe the University of Michigan Business School deliberately lies on its publications).

Exactly. But the larger issue to me is that the left will continue to defend the messiah no matter what he does, and they continue to lose credibility.
