Alaska Darin Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 McCaskill Pays $300k for back taxes The Republicans are going to be all over this, doing everything they can to win this seat. In my mind, this is the biggest problem we have - everything is about party politics. The real issue is how complicated the tax code is. McCaskill and her husband probably pay a nice chunk to a reputable accounting service (or have their own staff) and they still can't keep up. It's kinda like the "attack on the middle class" in Wisconsin, which ignores the dire straights virtually every state is facing with regards to public employee pensions/benefits. At the end of the day, America is facing tough choices and we continue to make the same mistakes. If Senator McCaskill were worth her salt, her next bill would be to simplify the federal tax code (granted, it's not a federal tax issue that she's facing).

I am sure that there are enough accounting industry lobbyists and tax attorneys in Washington to make sure she doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The upside to this, at least, is that there's now one less Democrat loudly complaining that the problems with our country begin and end with millionaires not willing to carry a heavier tax burden. It gets kind of tough to demonize your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
