Following that logic, it's OK to fark underage pageboys as well.

Following that logic, its....ughhh.... this is crap... Its called being better than "that other guy". Geeez

Because unlike them you do not have powerful Washington connections. You will get your ass thrown in jail. May not be fair, but it's the truth.

EvilEgg: Because unlike them you do not have powerful Washington connections. You will get your ass thrown in jail. May not be fair, but it's the truth.

Yes, exactly. No one's wondering. Everyone knows the rules are different.

Because you're not a FOO (Friend Of Obama).

Because they have control of far more guns than you do.

Because you never cared when it was Bush you were bowing to, you helped make things worse, now you suddenly care, which is phony as all hell.

Becauase unlike top administrative officials, you will go to pmita prison for your shenanigans.

tchamber: Following that logic, it's OK to fark underage pageboys as well.

By congressional rules it's okay to get them drunk and fark them, but it's definitely not okay to send them creepy text messages.

Moral of the story: If you're in a position of power, you're expected to use your underlings to their fullest for whatever amuses you at the moment, and toss them aside when they've outlived their usefulness. None of this pussyfooting around will be tolerated.

Are they still refusing to pay them, or did they admit their mistake and pay the taxes with interest?

If subby were to fail to pay, that would be his/her first option as well. Further failure to pay would be a jailin'.

Because you're not a FOC (Friend Of Cheney).

The have more power. The rules of law do not apply to the elite.

Because you didn't save the Earth from a massive asteroid collision.

Because you don't have obscure tax issues, no one gives you gifts of any substantial amount and you're a whiny little biatch.

Good lord. I miss that simpler time when Tax Day coverage was just some local reporter standing in the post office at night as all the loser procrastinators wait in line watching the clock hoping to make the midnight deadline.

Damn you, Obama! Why did you have to run for President? Your mere existence is setting this nation on fire.

By all means, go ahead and act like those elitist liberals you so claim to hate.

Elvis_Bogart: Because you're not a FOO (Friend Of Obama).

Do you pity da FOO?

I am really getting sick and tired of the constant Republican media blitz/astroturfing.

That's true, but why let a little thing like the facts stand in the way of having a hissy fit in public?

Because their tax preparers made errors on extremely complex returns under a bogglingly complex tax code, then repaid all appropriate amounts when the errors were determined by partisan accountants.

You're just an asshole.

I'm just all annoyed that I turned my taxes in early and efiled and Wisconsin is still dragging it's goddamn feet on my refund.

IronTony: Elvis_Bogart: Because you're not a FOO (Friend Of Obama).

I got no time fo all yo jibba jabba.

As Wednesday's tax deadline looms, some Americans are wondering why they should comply with the arcane requirements of the Internal Revenue Service when top administration officials failed to do the same

Um...didn't they end up paying?

EvilEgg: Because unlike them you do not have powerful Washington connections. You will get your ass thrown in jail. May not be fair, but it's the truth.

There isn't a single thing that Obama's choices did that would put you in jail. Happens all the time and people pay it back. It literally happens ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME. I've dealt with the IRS. Yes, they want their money, but, no, you won't go to jail for any of the mistakes those people made.

Does Fark have a hyper-right-wing admin who just went on shift?

I know I found it funny more for the fact that apparently a man whose taxes were too complicated would be the one handling the countries, and didn't think he did anything wrong.

LasersHurt: Because their tax preparers made errors on extremely complex returns under a bogglingly complex tax code, then repaid all appropriate amounts when the errors were determined by partisan accountants.

Errors that in at least one case, went unnoticed by an IRS AUDIT.

Am I missing something here? Haven't all of Obama's appointments repaid any tax arrears they owe, plus interest? Isn't that "complying with the arcane requirements?"

To be fair, some Americans are also wondering what would happen if they stuck their tongue on an electrical outlet.

would be what????

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: Am I missing something here? Haven't all of Obama's appointments repaid any tax arrears they owe, plus interest? Isn't that "complying with the arcane requirements?"

The fact that they made errors, which were conveniently overlooked until anyone bothered to check, means that I shouldn't have to try to fill out the 12 line form.

God damn, I failed on this....

Umm, gee, I don't know, maybe you're missing the fact that they only paid it because they got caught and wanted a high profile position?

"GOLLY I DONT KNOW WHY THE VOTERS DONT WANT THIS CONVICTED MURDERER IN THE WHITE HOUSE -- HE FOLLOWED THE LAW AFTER ALL, SINCE HE SERVED HIS SENTENCE!!"

The law was very, very unclear on his situation. So much so, the IRS tried to clarify it repeatedly, since many others were making the mistake. This is all googlable, or you can continue with the talking points.

I don't get it. Is there a member of the Obama administration who is not paid up on all their taxes?

I know some had problems before they joined the Administration. But they had to clean all that up as a condition of being part of the Obama team.

Generation_D: Because you never cared when it was Bush you were bowing to, you helped make things worse, now you suddenly care, which is phony as all hell.

1) Some Democrats don't pay their taxes, many of them avoiding years of filing

2) Some of those were appointed position in Obama's cabinet, where said tax indiscretions were discovered

3) ??????

4) But...bu.....b....BUSH!!!

What, you don't find it humorous that the guy we entrusted to help fix the economy apparently couldn't figure out his tax forms? I'm not saying it means he will fail, but it's at least humorous.

Elvis_Bogart: FOO

If I am against friends of Obama, then would I be a Foo Fighter?

Burn98: I don't get it. Is there a member of the Obama administration who is not paid up on all their taxes?

You're right; you don't get it.

This cliff, let me watch you jump off it right after that other guy.

Alternatively,
Who's more foolish: the fool or the fool that follows him?

/got nuthin

pd771: but it's at least humorous.

Ironic, don'tcha think?

Talon: Becauase unlike top administrative officials, you will go to pmita prison for your shenanigans.

And unlike top Republican politicians, you will NOT like it.

Yeah, but I'm not a writer for a living.

I hate the guy and think he was a horrible pick. However, his mistake was the most understandable of the group. Again, the IRS itself was fuzzy on the rules.

PascalsGhost: I hate the guy and think he was a horrible pick. However, his mistake was the most understandable of the group. Again, the IRS itself was fuzzy on the rules.

understandable. Like I said, I'm not holding it against him. There are real issues I can hold against him. It was just funny.

PascalsGhost: It literally happens ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME. I've dealt with the IRS.

When you put it to them very clearly and simply like, "You know that 5,000 dollars you just took out of the corporate checking account because you think I didn't pay some tax ten years ago? Well, it was going to pay my employees tomorrow. So I guess I'll be padlocking the doors and shutting the place down," they suddenly can be very pleasant and accommodating. I've dealt with the IRS, too. They put the money back.

But they can, and do pull that kind of shiat. More often than most people realize. I think it was numero one or two why I got the hell out of business. They power they have is just unimaginable to most folks.

Wait...that's 'clearly'?

Dude, if you got to the point where they froze your funds, you had been warned over and over. They have no interest in doing that until they have no other choice. I've let it go that long, and it was my fault as I had ignored them.

And as soon as I called, it was un froze and I made payment arrangments. They have huge power, yes, but they only go that far when you forse their hand.
