   You are a lawyer. I will assume you are lying until the facts prove otherwise.

   You are wise to think so.

   Apparently LA County was unaware of the tax lien too. How did 16 years go by without the repair joint going to tax sale?

   Maybe it should have been Child Support. Then it would be a whole different story.

   I got full sole custody of my child 6 months ago, but I offered to pay my ex 6 additional months just to buy her off. California was the original court but all of us have long since moved away, so another state was(is) now the end collectee.

   Just yesterday, I let all parties know that I had completed my obligation. The 2nd state then let me know that I had massively overpaid my obligation and had a positive account balance since their records began. When I asked when I would receive the money back, they said I WOULDNT. It wasnt their responsibility to reclaim my/my childs money.

   And to top it off, California had their records screwed up and had been posting negative information on my credit report – making it look as though I was a long-term dead-beat dad. But its not their responsibility to clean my credit report either….

   If you have a tax lien against you, it shows up on your credit report. Are they expecting us to believe that, in 16 years, he never had to pull his credit report?
   R-i-i-i-ight.

   Would really love to sneak a peak at Pelosi’s tax returns… how many delicious skeletons could that potentially dig up? You know, if I squint hard at her photos, San Fran Nan bears a scary resemblance to hotel billionaire Leona Helmsley, who actually was convicted of federal income tax evasion and other crimes and served almost two years in prison. Ah, the good ol’ days of tax-evasion enforcement… sigh.

   Wasn’t one of our trolls beating the JTP tax lien drum pretty hard?

   I expect they’ll be on shortly to give Solis the same treatment.

   I’ve got time. I’ll wait….

   Hell will freeze over first.

   At what point does this become a pattern?

   Seriously, at what point should Democrats be indicted for conspiracy?

    What, out of curiousity would all of you think of someone that ran a business that was not in good standing with the State, due to unpaid fees or unfiled reports?

    Would that person’s credibility be shot, in your opinion?

    Sorry Chap…would not be happening for very long at all.

    The State has the power to come in and nuke the business using various regulations, or going after their business license.

    I am fairly confident the State would have issued their decree to the company about paying up, with penalties and interest by X date, or the State would rain on their parade.

    …even if it were an honest mistake.

    If they “owned up” to it and did what they could to put it right, then no.

    Isn’t this what Solis’s husband is doing?

    Uh…16 years later? That’s not trying to own up to it. That’s ignoring it.

    And if you read the article, he claimed he was going to appeal it. This tells me he had not even bothered to address it in any way if he had not even appealed it yet.

    Come on Chap, they flat out ignored it.

    Really? So if, oh…I don’t know…Michelle Malkin LLC, for example, were not in good standing with the State of Maryland, which would indicate a failure on that company’s part to file necessary forms and payments to the state, you would consider that a deliberate act by that company’s owners to flaunt the law and its obligations?

    No…and I figured you were setting something up with your original question.

    My point was in response to that question…that the State has the power to compel a business to comply with whatever fairly quickly, and not allow it to drag on for 16 years.

    Sure the state has the power to come in and demand compliance. It does not mean it exercises that power.

    I know for a fact that tax liens can linger for years without the owner being aware, and states do not comsistently report liens, nor do they follow up on them.

    It seems they did in this case though…what? at least 15 times?

    Yes, but it sure is awful convenient that these crap weasels don’t actually do anything to resolve the issue until they, or someone they are married to, gets nominated for a cabinet position.

    And don’t give me that “I didn’t know I owed $_____” stuff. Because, like Chappie, most of them are lawyers and are probably lying.

    You are not a very quick read, are you?

    I am not talking about “they.” I in fact think Geithner was flat out lying, Daschle probably knew better too. I am talking about this specific situation, where I have little trouble believing that the tax liens were unknown and/or forgotten.

    And the guy isn’t a lawyer, you may have read he runs an auto repair shop. I’m not sure where that falls on your imaginary credibility chart.

    Auto repairman: Yea I looked at your car lady and you have some serious problems . It’s a good thing you brough it in when you did. You and you kids could have been killed.

    Lady: Really? Oh, my God!

    Auto repairman: Yea, see, the part don’t cost much but we’ll have to pull the engine to get to it. At that time we’ll know how much damage was done. But you’re looking at about $1000 dollars to start.

    Lady: Oh, my! I wish my husband were here.

    Auto repairman: Oh, is he an expert on cars? Listen, suit yourself, but I wouldn’t drive that car another foot if it were mine.

    Lady: OK, I guess I’d better get it fixed now.

    Auto repairman: That’s what I’d do lady. And perhaps we can work out some “payment” plan.

    That give you an idea about my imaginary credibility chart, Chappo?
