Another tax cheat
Once again, an Obama appointee is busted for not paying taxes. No wonder Democrats don’t mind raising taxes. They don’t pay them. Interestingly, Glenn notes:
Is this, like, some kind of karmic payback for all the Joe-the-plumber tax business?
I was sort of thinking that a lot of this has come out since Joe. And I know the press is lazy when it comes to asking hard questions of Obama and I’d bet they’re not the ones discovering this. I wonder, then, if someone learned after the Joe The Plumber incident to just start searching public records for anyone who enters the political arena and then to leak it?

And personal privacy is a reason why a lot of good people stay out of politics. They don’t like having themselves or their families drug through the mud on the possibility that it might make someone else feel more powerful.

What happened to the 7 page questionnaire Obama administration applicants were supposed to respond to? It has 9 questions on tax issues. Did these folks lie in their responses? Were the responses accurate but ignored? Were they not required to respond to the questionnaire? The press should be demanding release of their responses.
