finknottle Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 And the LA Times article says he is disputing them, but paid them anyway to keep it from being an issue. All of which has absolutely nothing to do with Hilda Solis. She doesn't have anything to do with his business, and she didn't know about the lien. Furthermore, if Sayyad didn't know about them (according to USA Today), but paid them off when he found out, then where is the story here, and how does it in any way involve Hilda Solis? The answer is it doesn't and you and your party are grasping at straws to tank a pro-Labor, Labor Secretary nominee because you hate unions. No one gave a crap about a few grand lien (which just got paid, in any event) on an auto shop that either has been in dispute or wasn't known about for sixteen years prior to her nomination. Talk about making up crap - if you really believe that if she were anti-union then nobody would be saying anything, then dream on. This is about the fourth nominee in a week with a tax issue. It's about blood in the water. It's about whether the Democratic bench thinks it is above paying taxes. A nominee can be Ronald Reagan and people are still going to go over his tax records.

A nominee can be Ronald Reagan and people are still going to go over his tax records. Blood in the water according to the Party of Failure and the lot that (wrongly) believes they have a grasp on reality. The majority of Americans don't seem to be buying into your faux-scandals. In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Wednesday, those surveyed say by nearly 3-1 that their confidence in President Obama's ethical standards and his ability to manage the government and improve the economy has gone up rather than down since his inauguration last month. "They're willing to cut him some slack," says political scientist Gary Jacobson of the University of California-San Diego. "They're more interested in things like what's going to happen to their jobs and their incomes and their 401(k)s. This other stuff is just a distraction." snip Nearly six in 10 say the controversies over appointees are "just a normal part of the process of filling high-level government jobs in any new administration." They also think he's on the right track with the economy. By 55%-17%, those surveyed say they have gained confidence in Obama's ability to improve the economy since he took office. So, while you people shout from the rooftops that Obama is packing his administration with tax cheats, the rest of us who don't want America to fail have confidence in the guy who won in a landslide victory on a platform that indicted your heros' economic policies.

That's priceless. When your argument falls apart resort to questioning our patriotism and cite some BS polls. I can assure you that I don't "want America to fail" and I would never make such an arrogant, moronic, and pitifull statement about someone else just because they don't agree with me on a message board. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidNation Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'd bet every dollar I can get my hands on that 95% of the people on this board, including you, have skimmed or cheated or lied on their taxes at some time in some way. And I'd bet the same amount that 95% of the people on this board that say, not me, I pay all mine and never cheat" are bold faced liars. And I'll bet you the people who have were against those taxes to begin with and did not force them on others to pay for their policies to foist socialism on others. What kind of dumbass would say what you did without realizing the people who you criticize are the same people who are against the programs they are funding? You are comparing people who were against such spending and taxes to begin with to the people who enforce them on others to build a false constituency based on consumption that will vote "Laziness" and "Change" over common sense economics. Go blow your triumphalistic brand of hypocrisy where it is warranted on the people who want this SH*T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, I would hazard a guess that 95% of the people on this board include ones who are for it, ones who are against it, ones who could give a crap about it, oblivious freaks like yourself, and Darin. It has zero to do with ideology, 95% is 19 out of every 20 people. You didn't really say that 95% people who cheat on their taxes are Republicans, who feel taxes are too high, did you?

If one day you came home and found out that your wife has been stealing from her job a few times in the last 16 years, and you didn't know anything about it or have anything to do with her job, would you take responsibility, or blame yourself, for marrying a thief? Yeah, right, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying you can take your sanctimonious outcry of hypocrisy against your own first and foremost, then turn to people like myself. Darin doesn't take a side, but I'm a paleo-conservative and proudly so. I'm not a Republican first, I'm a conservative first. Most Repubs haven't served the interest of freedom and small government in a long, long time and the hijacking of Taft and Buchanan tell me more about "Republican" conservatism than you can imagine. My point is, and it was lost on you, that your sham cry of "everyone's doing it" is so egregiously stupid without looking at the cause that I find it humorous that you won't look at the point of the thread, which is that the people who want big gov't don't want to fund it.

That's true hypocrisy, and not people like your screaming "well you do it too!" I was only talking about the simple hypocrisy. That's it. There was no need in that post to try to explain the cause of it. There are a dozen good reasons for the cause of it. What you said and implied was ridiculous: That 95% people who cheat on their taxes do so because they don't believe in those taxes or the tax system. And it's more hyopcrisy, from both the Dems who cheat even though they don't mind higher taxes, and the Reps who cheat who want to lower taxes down to next to nothing without bothering to care about the fallout. But the vast majority IMO, are the countless millions who cheat or have cheated on their taxes without regard to party or ideology or thought or common decency (and I include myself in this), simply because they want to have more money in their pocket for themselves and family and perks and vices.

Kelly the Dog Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Especially from some of those nominees!! Actually, they all admitted they cheated on their taxes, except the one that didn't cheat on her taxes, Solis. Of course, she probably cheated, too, we just don't know about it. And you know if 95% of all Americans cheat to some degree on their taxes, 100% of members of the House and the Senate have. I should say when I say "cheat", I am talking about both very big cheats, which are totally wrong, and very small nickel and dime stuff that is still wrong but a huge ordeal. Like, say, you're a cab driver and you don't declare 100% of your tips as income. That's cheating but obviously not the same category as tax fraud.
