#1 Now wait: before we starting criticizing Senate-person McCaskill, let's have a show of hands. Is everyone at Rantburg up to date on the taxes on his or her private jet (or jets, as the case may be)?

#2 I'm always up-to-date on the taxes owed on my fleet of private jets - that I don't have.

#3 I am curious are jets like cars? Do some states have property tax on them and some just registration fees?

Wouldn't it make sense to have your jet owned and registered by your Cayman Island firm? (I mean if you are a rich senator I assume you have a Cayman Island or like tax dodge.)

#4 What states only have a reg fee tax on a boat or yacht?

#5 Barbara Hello!; No NO not private fleet silly. Have them listed as a business for tax write off. Rent them out and your condos. I believe you have private jets also. That would work also. This should keep your private accountant busy.

#6 I cannot believe a US Senator is stupid enough not to have a CPA handling his/her taxes. Unless s/he IS a CPA.

#7 a delicious comment at AOSHQ
"10 On top of this, McCaskill signed on in February as a co-sponsor of Senate legislation that would fire federal employees if they are seriously delinquent in paying their own federal taxes.
The irony, it burns.
