So you don't think people like that take a salary for that work?


Wow. The extent some people go to sticking their head in the sand.

Not to say that ANYBODY who shirks a known responsibility is on the good side, but there is a huge difference between ignoring it and addressing it.
Making payments NOW, as opposed to what they chose to do (neglecting their taxes) back then...

At this rate, I'm going to get differences between "this guy had shag carpeting, and this guy had hardwood floors".

I dug up some of the old threads on Obama's guys who weren't paying taxes.
Would you like me to start quoting from there to show how many of these statements were being seen as important back then?
(Incredibly small list...)

As far as their responsibility to pay taxes, absolutely. As far as being qualified to be leaders, there's a huge difference. This is a PRIVATE org. while the Obama nominees are public servants. As such, they should most definitely be held to a higher standard.

Plain and simple: Double standards from the Left.

The parallel is still there.
You guys are just grasping at excuses to ignore it.
No one's grasping at straws. If it turned out that Michael Moore wasn't paying his taxes, we would all consider that far different than most of the Obama administration not paying their taxes too.

You're the only one grasping at straws for having made the comparison in the first place.
