He doesn't like to pay taxes.

This topic will inevitably steer into the R/S/P area. There's a board made for just that that's been online for quite some time now.

Let's all use it and give the mods a break!

TS, looks like you are going to need to make a habit of posting this notification. I had actually forgotten about the other forum started up by GMAN. However, I find some of these topics a nice break from the norm, as long as they remain civilized.
 
Nor does our new President.

IIRC, his financial disclosures from last Summer revealed he had considerable sums in tax free money market accounts.

Seemed hypocritical to me while whining that others don't pay enough taxes.
 
It's always great to have a tax cheat at the head of the IRS. It would give some great leverage to get our own tax holiday!

But hey, this guy is too big to fail...

Yup. Many money market funds invest in city/state/municipal bonds that are tax free. The rates are generally lower so they may or may not be advantageous. You have to compare the after tax return of taxable funds and compare to the tax free ones.
 
One of the other advantages to offset the lower return was their AAA rating. They were super low risk back in the old days ( 2 years back or more ) when the ratings actually meant something...
 
What infuriates me is that he was NOT fined by the IRS. Only told to pay what was delinquent.
This is preposterous - he is a fraud and cheat - repeatedly! He is one who should be held to higher standards and is very well informed about the laws - there is no excuse.
 
Hey!!!! It was just a tiny little 3 year over-site!!! Oppsy... my bad. It's a new era, something like is just not worth mentioning. If this were the case in the past 8 years however, it would have been front page news.
 
Lets not forget that he signed documents stating that he has paid all of the taxes that he did not.

This is not the type of person that we need to be (thanks to the TARP legislation, which he designed!) in charge of the nations economy.
 
A rare occurrence where Tempest and I are in agreement. Heard today that the IMF set aside a fund for him to pay these taxes. So it looks like he pocketed the money.

Not a good way to start for change.

This is exactly as I see it. It's like when insurance companies hire jewel thieves as consultants because they know all the tricks of the trade.
