Jake Tapper reported:
"ABC News has learned that the nomination of former Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., to be President Obama's secretary of health and human services has hit a traffic snarl on its way through the Senate Finance Committee.
The controversy deals with a car and driver lent to Daschle by a wealthy Democratic friend -- a chauffeur service the former senator used for years without declaring it on his taxes.
It remains an open question as to whether this is a "speed bump," as a Democratic Senate ally of Daschle put it, or something more damaging."
This is chapter 2. We learned about Geithner a couple of weeks ago.
John Hinderaker has a good post:
“The good thing about electing a Democrat as President is that, as he nominates fellow Democrats to senior positions in the Executive Branch, millions of dollars in unpaid tax liabilities come to light and are belatedly paid to the IRS, with interest.
It is, perhaps, the most tangible advantage of electing Democrats to office.”
Again, how does Pres Obama reduce the deficit?
Get Dems to pay taxes!
Of course, these are the same Dems who want to tax us more and more.
P.S. This is the same Tom Daschle who said this:
"“Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter. ” Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4507."
