PAY YOUR G** D*** TAXES!

February 3, 2009 By tblade

Dear Potential Obama Nominees & Appointees:

PAY YOUR G** D*** TAXES!

Seriously. Stop being such asshats, K? It’d be a big help. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Everyone that wants a functioning government.

P.S. – If the whole “it’s the law” and “civic duty” thing isn’t working for ya, just think of the government as a “union” and taxes as “union dues” that help to facilitate job security, eh?  

Please share widely!

    Say, unrelated but, did Deval Patrick ever release his tax returns?

      story

      The stunning Daschle development came less than three hours after another Obama nominee also withdrew from consideration, and also over tax problems. Nancy Killefer, nominated by Obama to be the government’s first chief performance officer, said she didn’t want her bungling of payroll taxes on her household help to be a distraction.

    From the NYTimes:>

    A seven-page questionnaire being sent by the office of President-elect Barack Obama to those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive – some say invasive – application ever.

    The questionnaire includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps.

    Only the smallest details are excluded; traffic tickets carrying fines of less than $50 need not be reported, the application says. Applicants are asked whether they or anyone in their family owns a gun. They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.

    The application also asks applicants to “please list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet.”

      Apparently question #64 — “Have you paid all the taxes you owe?” has eaten by the photocopier.

    They assigned vetting responsibilities to John McCain.

    A Senate committee today abruptly canceled a session to consider President Obama’s nomination of Rep. Hilda Solis to be labor secretary in the wake of a report saying that her husband yesterday paid about $6,400 to settle tax liens against his business — including liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years.

    p>Well, after all, “nobody likes paying taxes”!

    p>Too bad Democrats love raising them so much.
