Owing a hundred thousand dollars in back taxes seems a bit too much. What is it with these democrats? They don't have any problem raising taxes on the rest of us. When it comes their turn to pay, they are looking for a pass. This really is shameful.

... ] It seems Tom Daschle recently paid a little over $100,000 in back taxes and interest after failing to tell the IRS that he was receiving a free car and driver from a Wall Street friend for three years. If you re keeping track, that s a little over twice the amount Tim Geithner paid in back taxes and interest. Daschle has already been through one confirmation hearing, in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, but the HHS Secretary traditionally faces two separate committees, since both have jurisdiction over his agency. The second, which has yet to hold ...

Another Obama Nominee Has a Tax Problem: Tom Daschle
Ace of Spades HQ —
Another Obama Nominee Has a Tax Problem: Tom Daschle So, Woodward was right when he hinted about further problems along these lines for Obama. Daschle was "given" a car and driver to use by a wealthy Democratic friend. (I need to get me one of those.) He, um, assumed he did not have to pay taxes on it. Why on earth would he assume such a thing? It's ridiculous.

Daschle made his tax bill right only during the vetting process. So, again, it’s another high-ranking Democrat who didn’t come clean until he absolutely had to. Daschle’s tax bill came to just over $100,000 dollars over three years. His excuse is that he didn’t ...
