Taken For A Ride

News that Obama’s selection for HHS, former Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD), neglected to pay taxes on chauffer services he was provided by a longtime friend and Democratic fundraiser. The services were not part of his compensation as consultant at Intermedia Advisors, but were required to be declared on his income tax returns. The “oversight” was uncovered during Daschle’s vetting process, and he has since paid $101,943 in back taxes.

Perhaps one of the reasons why Democrats appear so anxious to tax us is because none of them ever seem to actually pay them themselves.

I think of Jefferson's advice and the forest that will result from the trees of liberty that will be refreshed with the blood of tyrants such as Daschle, Frank, Rangel, et. al. when we finally wake up.
