How a person wants to run for Senator after having a state tax lien against him and currently having a forfeited corporation which is delinquent on his taxes is beyond me. He must have really big huevos.

The answer to that is here in The Peoples Republic of Minnesota:

I agree, they’ll probably elect him because he says what the moonbats want to hear. It doesn’t matter who he really is or what he really does.

This place has gone full throttle Socialist. Besides, he’s a clown and we’ll be sending him to the National Circus. He’ll fit right in.

Let’s not forget that he can say and do anything without responsibility or consequence because he is a comedian.

Absolutely. Just ask Michael Richards!

His corporation was incorporated in California in 1998. It seems that Mr. Franken did not see it necessary to file income tax returns from 2003 to 2007 – thus his corporation was forfeited.

Debtor: FRANKEN, ALAN
15 E 26TH ST APT 1803
NEW YORK, NY 10010

Debtor Type: INDIVIDUAL

CREDITOR INFORMATION

Creditor: STATE OF CA

LIEN INFORMATION

Total Amount: $29,519.00

his corporation was forfeited for:

08/01/2007 FRANCHISE TAX BOARD FORFEITURE.

This means his corporation was forfeited for not paying taxes or not filing tax returns (which is worse on the Franken because it means he did NOT abide by the law).

To dissolve a corporation is California is a real headache – you have to get the state franchise tax board to sign off first, which means filing all due returns and paying the $800 minimum tax for all years including the year the corporation is to be dissolved.

P.S. the state tax lien was filed on 10/1999 and I don’t see a notation that it was satisfied.

All the naysyers are playing the fool – in California you just can’t let the corporation lapse, by law you must file a tax return for every year until the corporation is dissolved (with the $800 minimum tax accuring). The Secretary of State will not dissolve the corporation until ALL of the taxes are paid. But this dufus has a $29K tax lien so he won’t be dissolving until ALL the taxes, internet and penalties are paid.

You are thinking of “The Law for Dummies” or alternatively “How to Charge $300 an Hour Without Really Trying” is a great resource. I am on Chapter 12: Advance Billable Padding Techniques.

Is that available at Amazon.com? I’d like to send a copy to my ex-wife’s attorney.

To be the calming voice of reason amongst the din of modern society. Like the soothing sound of waves lapping gently on a sandy beach.

Sort of like this?

I think Attorneys for Dummies would be a book for people to learn about attorneys.
