So long White House gig! My taxes are in order
Howie Carr, Boston Herald
Its official - I will not be getting a high-level appointment in the Barack Obama administration.
OK, so it was always a longshot, but now its a certainty. I just got the news in a letter from the federal government - not from the White House, but from the Internal Revenue Service.
I have completed the examination of your tax return for the year(s) shown above (2007), it began. I am pleased to inform you Im proposing no change to your tax return.
In other words, I am not a tax cheat, and Ive got it in writing.
I wasnt going to mention this until Tim Geithner, the tax-evading Treasury Secretary, came out yesterday for tax fairness - that is, higher taxes. The fact that he said it in front of Rep. Charlie Rangel, another confessed tax cheat, made his breath-taking hypocrisy even more aggravating.
Geithner, you may recall, didnt pay withholding taxes for years and years, even though he signed affidavits saying he had. Even worse, he illegally took a tax write-off for his kids overnight-summer camp. The Geithner doctrine: tax fairness for you and me, tax cheating for the Beautiful People....
