What Gordon needs to do is set up a branch office in Washington DC, where it appears no one can do their own damn tax returns without screwing them up.......
When Timothy Geithner appeared before the Senate Finance Committee last month, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) accused the soon-to-be treasury secretary of “dancing around” questions about his taxes.
When news broke that Tom Daschle had failed to pay taxes due on a car and driver, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) declared himself “very troubled by it.”
But neither Kyl nor Cornyn seems interested in answering questions about his own tax history.
They’re hardly alone.
Last week, Politico asked the offices of all 99 sitting senators to say who prepares their taxes, whether they or the Internal Revenue Service has ever discovered an error on returns they’ve filed, and whether they’ve ever had to pay back taxes.
Of the 57 senators who have responded to the survey, nine said that mistakes have been made on their tax returns, and seven said they have paid back taxes. Thirty-one senators said that no mistakes have been discovered on their returns and that they’ve never paid back taxes — at least to the best of their recollection.
Nine out of 57? Sixteen percent of these bozos who write the laws can do their own returns correctly? And those were the ones who were honest about it.
As part of my 2009 business plan, I'm opening a branch office in front of the capitol building.
