Tax Woes for Obama Labor Nominee, Too

Obama should be working for the IRS finding Democrat DEAD BEAT tax CHEATS.
Obama’s integrity ethics and judgment were the first things to go in the first month of him being a president.

Yawn. I’m betting you do a detail audit of almost anyone who makes above 100k a year and you get this sort of thing.

You may want to chenge this headline. The labor nominee is not having tax problems. It’s her husband…big difference.

Yeah, sure. GO, you need to go – to hell! Obama is doing the best job he can under the circumstances and if he nominates someone who unfortunately has tax problems, (as I am sure every politician does or has had in the past, including lots of Republicans, too!!) then it is indeed unfortunate, but doesn’t mean that Obama is at fault. He is attempting to choose the best people for each job and sadly, these people just aren’t that honest. I doubt there are any politicians who are squeaky clean. Just ask your gal, Sarah.

Amazing! Who would think that so many “trusted” Washingtonites could owe so much money. We could reduce our national debt just collecting from these sandbaggers.

BROWNRY SHES MARRIED TO HIM ITS HER PROBLEM TO GET REAL

I think the IRS needs to audit every member of Congress and many, many federal employees. Money problems solved!

ABC has broken a story sure to rock the political world. Reporter Scott Mayerowitz has discovered that Barack Obama’s compensation is actually more than the recently reported $400,000. Unbeknownst to many, in addition to that large 6-figure sum, Obama is allowed to use, TAX FREE, a very fancy limo which comes with a driver for whom he does not pay.
And the car is not just your average run-of-the-mill limo but chock full of fancy gadgets including rididculously expensive bullet-proof glass and other high-tech security features.
And the car is not Obama’s only tax-free perk. He is also given, in addition to his handsome salary, a $50,000 budget for….wait for it….PARTIES! That’s right, if he wants to welcome, say, Nicolas Sarkozy to the United States he can get the beer and chips and stuff FREE. At a time when many Americans have lost their jobs Obama is partying on your dime.
ABC News has also revealed this shocking truth: Obama has been given a HOUSE to live in TAX FREE while he is President. That’s right, just when people are losing their mortgages Obama is given this gigantic perk and guess what he pays on it monthly: nothing! Nada!
As you can see, it’s not some fix-er-upper either. It’s got a ton of rooms and comes with another tax-free perk: free staff.
Really, as if this weren’t enough, ABC informs us that Obama also gets to use, at taxpayer expense, a huge free airplane. He flies first class or coach or anywhere he wants to sit because the whole plane is his to use tax-free. There’s more too but you’ll have to read the full exclusive story for that.
ABCNews.com is also letting us know, in their top story, that on the stimulus bill “Obama lost” even though they say it will pass.
Just when we thought traditional media was dying ABC News comes along with these gems to prove they’ve still got it.

Is anyone really suprised? The honeymoon is over for Obama and he’s seeing the other face of the media that deified him.
As soon as he starts keeping cigars and interns in the oval office the transition will be complete. Obama is the liberal Voltron! Except it forms a giant Teddy Kennedy swilling scotch and driving off bridges.

thats why so many dems want to increase our taxes, they don’t pay them

geecee: Still all worked up about Sarah?

TAX CHEATS…..SHE HAD TO KNOW 16 YEARS OF TAX LIENS. DID SHE LIVE IN ANOTHER HOUSE?? IF YOU FILE JOINTLY, YOU ARE AS RESPONSIBLE AS YOUR HUSBAND.WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR 1040. END OF ARGUMENT. GET RID OF ALL THE TAX CHEATS ALREADY NOMINATED AS WELL.

Please pay Barry for his two week “stint” and lets get someone else. Between Pelosi and Barry they cannot run a Shell station…

So far we can count the cheats on one hand. Another couple of days and ……….oh well.

Am I the only one supporting this country with my tax payments?

Any and all government employees and civil servants, elected, or appointed need to have a clean tax record. I suggest that everyone receiving compensation through the Office of Personnel Management have their tax returns reviewed for the last 5 years. Anyone appointed or elected that owes back taxes should resign.

OK this is getting comical. Are the Obama people not intelligent enough to properly vet someone???

Give me a break, I have had tax problems like this and there isn’t anyone more American then me.
This is MEDIA BS, that is getting swept up by the NEOCONS. How about the NEOCONS go ask Cheney and Bush for some of the billions spent in Iraq that was supposed to be paid with their oil.
Instead Cheney, Halliburton, Bush, and his oil buddies all got richer.
Bush had the big wig at Enron run the energy dept. Cheney sat in a locked room with all the oil companies to come up with the energy policy and the NEOCONS and media want to bash this lady for a few k owed to the IRS. The fact is he paid his taxes just late like many many good redblooded Americans do every year.

billy bob : there isn’t anybody to choose from in the dems party. they all haven’t paid taxes. but they want you to. BO is a creep along with the rest of them. 4 more years?

texas outlaw; Are you calling the press neocons?

I can imagine that there are A LOT of Americans who can feel some kinship with anyone having tax liens against their property – especially if the liens are well under the $10 thousand mark. People who owe twice or thrice in income taxes what most taxpayers earn in a year are another matter altogether! But a property tax lien settled for $6,400 is like a speeding ticket that you took in, plead extenuating circumstances, and got 40% of the fine knocked off: just plain “folks”. But something many Republicans would never understand at all.

Some of the press are neocons,
All of the press are headline whores.

Wise Up Dummies:
Yet another Obama oppointee to Labor Secretary (Rep. Hilda Solis – a Democrat) under fire for tax problems.
Hey, she must have forgotten too.
Here”s the deal. I’m 41 and I learned by the time I was 19 that when tax season comes around, it’s time to either pay, or receive because you overpaid, to the man.
You can’t honestly tell me that you actually believe that these Sen’s (you know, these brainiac democrats that people helped get into office and most of whom are over the age of 40), forgot to pay their taxes?
It’s a sham. YOU, are being buffaloed, and lied to by the very people you help get into office.

Shamaedene said “Why should someone who hasnt paid their taxes not be allowed to work in government?” You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!!! If you don’t pay your taxes, you are a criminal & belong in jail. You probably think that “undocumented workers” aren’t criminals either.

You may want to chenge this headline. The labor nominee is not having tax problems. It’s her husband…big difference.

YMF kept digging Bill Clinton’s foundation which actually does common good to save African lives from dying AIDS. Now, you say PBO’s labor secretary’s husband, who abuses labor laws and did not pay taxes, has nothing to do with her and her financial gains???
You PBO morons suck.

Let’s call it WDPTA. Why should any of these big dogs paying any taxes ? Only second class citizens will have to pay taxes or going to jail.

41 Years old. I never forget to pay my taxes.
6 Obama nominees ranging from 40-60 years old. Every one of them forgot to pay their taxes.
I knew there was something wrong with the dummy Democratic liberal brain.

Ordermonger, you mentioned that Joe the Plumber owed more in taxes? I didn’t know Joe was an Obama cabinet pick.

CONGOLIZA LICE — Yes it can. You could be living in bankrupt California with 5 million illegals, drugs, blacks and gang wars.
If you live there, go ahead and stay there.

With a call sign like lickballs, you where probably the guy the congressman was looking for in the bathroom.

It’s not Obama’s fault that there are so many deadbeat politicians. Anyway it’s her husband. Can’t blame the gop for getting some licks in though. After being Bushwacked for 8 years they need a break…poor old broken down gop.

CONGALIZZA and TEX –
Actually, I file a 1040A, if you must know. But, I’d also like to point out that based on the way you two dummies spell, I can probably solidify the fact that I make more money than you. That is, both of you – put together.
But hey, I understand your anger. Well, there’s always room for you to work your way up the ladder. Or, do you have the know-how to do so?

How does a 16-year old tax lien of $6,400 on her husband’s business—which Solis was not a part of— constitute tax problems? That is absurd.
Maybe we should also check if her cousin didn’t pay parking tickets during college. I mean, apparently family records from over 15 years ago are relevant information huh?
Meanwhile, during the campaign it came out that Palin didn’t report her per diems as income. Actual money, as opposed to benefits, that she just decided she didn’t want to pay taxes on. And she never did! And stayed the nominee.
I am so sick of the DC media’s double standard, where its always OK if you’re a Republican.

Let’s see:
4 tax cheats
2 lobbyists
1 under grand jury investigation
This is the change we were promised…and then there’s Charlie Rangel…

Ordermonger,
Tell us what government job Joe the Plumber holds. The Dems used the entire power of government to go after a private citizen; what Constitution gives them that power?

i guess nobody wants to pay their taxes anymore! Bad Boys and Bad Girls among us

Is Hilda Solis responsible for the tax problems of her husband? As far as taxes, I always get my taxes prepared professionally. It saves me a lot of problems. Maybe Hilda Solis’ husband should follow suit. In any rate, Hilda Solis is NOT responsible for her husband’s business affairs, including tax problems. She’s a courageous fighter for working class people and that’s what matters.

congolezza idiot??? what do you mean BLACKs and gangs are you a 1950′s style southern Bigot? Its a good thing I can’t see you.

LICKBALLS – is your name derived from your recurring fantasies of licking black Californian men’ balls? I have a number you can call… :)

I’d be willing to bet two-thirds of Congress–both parties–would be guilty as well. We, the little people, are the ones who pay taxes. I’m so fearful of getting audited (and screwed over by the IRS, more so than we already do) that I’m foolishly honest.

Hey Texas,
I seem to remember a President who did it in the Oval Office. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot, it was only sex…

Shamaedene- I think you are the one being naive, if you think people not paying taxes is not fraud. You do realize that we now have a criminal in charge of the IRS, don’t you? How am I a hypocrite? I think that smoking pot should have disqualified Obama & Clinton. I don’t care what Tony Blair did. He was England’s problem, not ours. Ted Kennedy should never have been allowed to become a Senator, since he is a murderer.

Jane-”$50 Million for an inauguration -
-” siorry but i have to correct you, $50 million was not spent on the Obama inauguration… $40 million plus was spent on the second Bush inaugural and everyone in the media roasted him.. talking about how many protective vests for our soldiers that would have bought…or how many vehicles could be armored, or tsunami victims could have been treated with it… The Obama inaugural cost $150 million and all the media could talk about was how great it was and how everyone who could attend should.. and dress to the nines.. and show their appreciation for the moment… nahh,,, the media isn’t biased… hoiw many of you think Bush would have got a pass if 4 of his cabinet nominees had tax problems? if his environmental Czar had been a member of a communist dominated board that promoted one world government? if his CIA chief had been a 1 mil a year lobbyist who sat on the board of a company that works directly for the CIA?
at least 40 prominent democrats made public statements between 1998 and 2001 about the dangers of Iraq and touted our need to take military action, yet ther are people who still want bush arrested for going… why is this guy getting a total pass on everything…?

Let me also add, if its ‘not a biggie’ then why did they all of a sudden PAY IT now after all these years ?

Okay, I guess it’s gonna take a tax audit of the entire administration to get the doubt under control. Let’s get on with it!

Obama is immature, arrogant and based on his recent cabinet appointments, “Tax Gate,” clueless. This fake stimulus package will be another “I screwed up” disaster for Obama.

texas outlaw..”Get over it NEOCONS, it will be 8yrs of hell for you. It will take the Dems that long to build a surplus in the budget for the next Repbulican to blow out their blowholes.”– you know, your are about the third or forth person i’ve sen on here talk about the “surplus” that was left to Bush.. IS this the latest effort to rewrite history for Clinton? Newsflash.. THERE WAS NO SURPLUS WHEN BUSH TOOK OFFICE.. The national debt INCREASED under Clinton… it was 5.1 trillion when Bush took office…If clinton was so good, then why do you libs have to make up stuff to make him better than he was?

Solis is a naked Marxist. Check her resume. She does not hide it.
Impeach Obama now before things get any worse than they already are.
PORK, PORK, PORK – Obama’s new mantra
PORK FOR ALL
Free TV converter boxes to all.
Obama is KING! All hail Obama!

Post by USA your an idiot first of all you probably can afford a converter box I don’t begrudge having money set aside for those that are to poor to convert there TV’s it’s the government that has decided to convert so why not help those that the only entertainment they get is TV or would you rather the kids get in trouble and rob your house think about it. Stop being so selfish and give OBAMA a chance for crying out loud you can BUSH a chance and look were it got us. OBAMA hasn’ even been in office for 3 weeks and your already bitching you must be a republican unless a republican is in office you have to find fault at every corner. RJ

My, My there are some angry folks out there. Well I guess I get that way some times. But here’s the deal…calling a person a “tax cheat” or what ever is stupid…Why stupid you ask? The #1″statute of limitations” never runs out on taxes #2 the tax code, it’s very, very, very complicated.
My ex is a CPA, Attorney and now IRS. An there are still areas of confusion When we do my taxes on a 46K teaching salary.
If you are employed by a single employer, you get your W2 and it shows what you paid vs what you owe. If on the other hand you are self employed and get revenue for multiple sources it can be difficult to know everything. I bet if we looked at all Republicans and Democrats in office many would have issues that have derailed Sen. Dashal.
Does every mistake mean dishohesty, only if there is a pattern.
T. Delay(R) – pattern
W. Jefferson(D) – pattern
Many of us at one time or another have had to file amended tax returns. That does not make us dishonest.
The Tax code must be simplified and it must be fair. Rich should pay a slightly higher rate than non rich because they enjoy a greater piece of the American dream and police and fire fighters usually show up at their houses more quickly than the rest of us. Income tax has never turned a rich man into a poor man….But for Bush to say we are all the same IS Stupid. gOOD RIDDANCE.

It would seem we are all living wrong. We could all be government bigwigs if ONLY WE DIDN’T pay our taxes!
Why hasn’t the size of the senate and house of representative been downsized? With so many loosing their jobs, it’s time some of these buffoons find out what’s like to be poor and unemployed.
If only these politicians could remember from one day to the next, that it wasn’t the lobbyist who voted them into office; it was common folk like us.

My only concern is that this woman is a big supporter of LaRacist (LaRaza). How can she clean up or beef up the unions and at the same time condone jobs being given to immigrants both legal and illegal at a substandard wage. Just more political posturing on the part of this corrupt president in a veiled attempt to bolster support for the democratic party in 2012. Won’t work Obama. You have proved to be what we on the other side of the aisle knew all the time, a WORTHLESS POTUS wannabe!

The MO of this administration must one of two things:
1.) Be so imcompetant that you can’t properly investigate someone’s backgruond.
2.) Just not care because he won and he gets to do whatever the f#@? he wants to.
Either way, the American people lose and we are left with the tax bill because I gaurantee the IRS would not be as forgiving to us see that none of us are in the “inner sanctum”
