Well, how else are you suppose to get a cabinet position?

timujin: So, nothing to do with the cabinet, nothing to do with "hope and change"... nice trolling there, spanky.



/was torn between sandy vagina and leave obama alone guy.

timujin: My issue is twats like you that can't find actual issues to gripe about and instead either focus on stupid or outdated, unconnected shiat.

Huh, 'cause my issue is twats like you that are to stupid to know a joke when they see it.

"but blaming Obama for everything wrong in Washington isn't useful."

my issue is, still, twats like you who have their heads so far up their ass it's past their sense of humor.

"The important things are getting lost in the noise."

xynix: You can also make up BS alimony (15k)

so, do you actually have to be divorced for that part to work?

Just asking for a...friend....

xynix: Well yeah cause they ask for the SSN.

Damn, bastards always find a way.

timujin: My mistake must have been in thinking that humor required being funny

Thats ok, my mistake was not putting it in crayon so it was easier for you to understand.

"If you come off like an asshole teabagger, don't expect to be treated any better than one."

Does it hurt when you think that stupid?

Is there a single democrat anywhere that actually pays their taxes? Are ALL of them angling for a spot in Obama's cabinet?

Ohoo yes, because it is the President's campain slogan

So, you got some unconfirmed information* from the Washington Post that some government officials MIGHT owe some taxes. So instead of chasing after known scofflaws - like all the teabaggers - you want to chase after unsubstatiated claims in order to attempt to make the president (that wants to try to bring the economy back where it belongs) bad.

* show where those indicated taxpayers have been audited and have been proven that they owe money

Splinshints: Why did subtard use the president's campaign slogan in an article about back taxes owed by congressional employees?

Is the submitter a moron? A troll? Are the admins that green this kind of garbage headline just dumber than a sack of marmalade?

We'll probably never know.

Did you bother to RTFA?

And 41 employees at the Executive Office of the President owed $831,000 altogether

/we'll probably never know
//prefer saying something is "dumber than a bucket of hair."

Spanky_McFarksalot: Does it hurt when you think that stupid?

Wow, you're a prick when your trolling goes south...

Along with the Capitol Hill totals, it shows that three employees at the Office of Government Ethics owed a combined $75,000. And 41 employees at the Executive Office of the President owed $831,000 altogether - about the same amount as during the last year of George W. Bush's administration.

41 out of 638 and it was probably the same 41 guys who have been there for 15 years.

I take all my tax tips from fark threads

/although most audits these days are on people making less than $50k

The also get taxpayer supported overdraft protection at the Bank of the House of Representatives. Insured by you and me.

Headline makes my headhurt.

You want to know who owes tons of back taxes? IRS employees who know how to work the system.

/Good luck getting them to pay... or even proving they owe

You people pay taxes?

/suckerz

I'd love to see the "owe back taxes" rate for politicians compared to the population as a whole.

xynix: Spanky_McFarksalot: xynix: You can also make up BS alimony (15k)

so, do you actually have to be divorced for that part to work?

Just asking for a...friend....

Well yeah cause they ask for the SSN. Just make sure to transpose two digits when entering it on the form. If they ask you just say "ohhh opps I meant I gave her a 1500 dollar gift.. Jeeze these taxes are confusing."

They wont ask though. Audits only happen to people that go overboard like making 250k and then saying they donate 75k of it. Do that and you're guaranteed an audit.

Wrong. There are a number of taxpayers who are audited randomly. And yes, contrary to the IRS's public position, there are red flags. You don't have an understanding of the way the system works. Taxpayers are given a risk rating. A low risk rating means it's less likely that you'll be audited, but it's not a guarantee that you won't by any means. No one is ever untouchable.

Also, a lot of the information you provided is wrong. If you claim to have donated $20k (a major red flag, despite your income) and you don't have records of the donation (cancelled check, for example), they will certainly disallow your deduction and likely charge you with fraud. If you claim you made alimony payments and you didn't, not only will they disallow it, but you will very likely be prosecuted for fraud. The IRS will almost surely prevail and you'll have a nice felony record attached to your name for life.

When I was an auditor, we used to have people like you who "played dumb" (as per your example, the "taxes are confusing" line was a classic that I've heard hundreds of times before). Those were the people that my colleagues and I would take the most delight in slamming. People who think that line will actually work must be brain damaged. When it comes to taxes, you will never be as clever and crafty as an auditor. We used to get hundreds of hours of training every year to help us to spot cheaters. Unsophisticated cheaters can usually get away with it for a while, but when they get caught, they get slammed. If evidence of fraud is found, auditors can demand records from up to 6 years prior. Without evidence of fraud, auditors can only go back 3 years.

I testified in court in 52 cases. The defendants prevailed in only 3 of those cases. In the other 49 cases, the defendants were almost always given felony convictions. 7 of those convictions came with prison sentences.

I've seen people lose everything in tax cases: their jobs, their homes, their spouses, their assets, and their entire lives. Anyone who thinks that they can game the system without getting caught may be right. But the punishment for blatant fraud is usually severe enough to dissuade all but the most stupid and/or the most greedy from ever seriously considering it.

Taxes are only for white males.

Overzealous staffers. Non-story.

They probably thought they could flash their ID badges and get away with it, like the underage interns who think an intern badge is a valid ID for ordering drinks. I can also ride the Senate train unescorted with my press badge you little shiats! No badge required for getting a Senate train run on you, though. I call Evan Bayh and Cosmo-era Scott Brown. What can Brown do for me?

Splinshints: swamp_of_dumb Did you bother to RTFA?

No, I tend not to when the headline alone tops out my bullshiat meter. Another reason not to greenlight farktarded headlines like this. It's not clever if you have to go so far out of your way to make a link that the whole thing just turns to nonsense.

Ahh, but if you did RTFA, you would have seen the rest of what I quoted:

And 41 employees at the Executive Office of the President owed $831,000 altogether - about the same amount as during the last year of George W. Bush's administration.

and re-trolled subby with something like, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

How the hell did I double quote that and not see it?

I blame the whiskey.

I am not evading tax in any way, shape or form. Now of course I am minimizing my tax and if anybody in this country doesn't minimize their tax they want their heads read because as a government I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra.

/Is "have their heads read" world slang or Aussie/British slang?

//It means "you must be farking nuts"

The IRS information does not identify delinquent taxpayers by name, party affiliation or job title and does not indicate whether members of Congress are among the scofflaws.

Welcome to Obama's congress.

Worrying about taxes is curable.

Work less, pay less.

Drink more, think less.

Who paid the income tax on the money that put Obamarama ding dong through college?



It's a fair question.

NO shiat, where are the loyalty oaths, the harassment of those who disagree, and the firings for political gain

6655321: The also get taxpayer supported overdraft protection at the Bank of the House of Representatives. Insured by you and me.

Uh, no they don't. It's an autonomous credit union . Senate side has one, too. Unless you're talking about being FDIC insured, in which case, you're an idiot, and you have the same protection.

/Had an account there
//Dave Chappelle has one too
