Daschles Tax Issues

WRITTEN BY JONATHAN KROHN   
MONDAY, 02 FEBRUARY 2009 22:00

            Well here we are; another nominee for a cabinet level position in the Obama administration having a tax issue.  Higher taxes, of course being key to the Liberal economic policy, we would think that men like Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank would come to Daschle’s opposition, right?  Wrong.  As one White House official put it:

“Every nomination has bumps along the road but they handle it.”

Really?  Maybe so, maybe every nomination does have bumps along the road, but those bumps certainly are not always the nominee not paying more than $100,000 in taxes.  Just one of those, “bumps along the road?”  Not likely.  Do not forget as well, that former Sen. Daschle has been paid during this time with a $1 million salary. Hmmm, isn’t that income within Barack Obama’s top tax bracket to whom he promised time and time again to raise taxes upon?  Yes.  Yet, does it matter if this man, who is with in this tax bracket, does not pay the taxes already allotted to him?  No.  When it comes to a presidential nominee who makes these mistakes, he is merely falling susceptible to “bumps along the road.”
