   The head of the IRS needs to be hauled before a committee, placed under oath as asked why all of these rich politicians are protected from IRS audits. None of them are ever audited.

   And guess who is liable for large sums of taxes?

   There are the elites and then there are us peasants.

   I say that McCaskill should be ridiculed to death over this. But what in the world does a Missouri county personal property tax have to do with the IRS? Does the IRS have anything to do with the administration of the real estate taxes that you pay to your local county government? Don’t muddle McCaskill’s clear wrong with a bunch of blowhard nonsense.

   That said, MO Republicans should be demanding copies of McCaskill’s tax returns for the years she’s had use of the plane. How did the arrangement get treated for income tax purposes? Was McCaskill paying rent or some invoice for use of the plane, which presumably is income to the entity that owns the plane and, in turn, probably ends up being taxed to McCaskill as an owner of that entity (reduced by deductions for depreciation, operating expenses, these personal property taxes). Or should the entity have been issuing McCaskill a W-2 or 1099 for the value of the use of the plane to her?

   Now, that would have federal income tax implications in which the IRS should have some interest.

   There are people I could blame for this, but I know better. I take full responsibility.

   In non-political-speak, when you say “but”, it negates everything you’ve just said [e.g., "I don't mean to hurt you, but..."]. However, in political-speak, when a politician says “but”, it means “I’m about to tell a whopper of a lie, and what I really want you to remember is the first thing I said, not what I’m about to say.”

    HuffPo… you’re kidding, right ?

    $287,273 in taxes is a far cry from a new ruling on taxing $17,000.00. Notice the HuffNPuff used .00 to make the amount look more ominous ?

    Politicians will never change unless they are held accountable. We need a system similar to the UCMJ which can be used to keep them in line. For instance McCaskill should be the subject of NJP and the penalty, for her first offense, should be censure and election probation. Any additional infractions should mean dismissal and being barred from ever holding public office again. That would go a long way to draining the swamp. Of course there would have to be a Constitutional Amendment for that and the pols would never stand for being judged by “the little people.”

    This is my belief, and it goes beyond left and right politicians. You allow people access to gobs of money or the ability to take benefits without reporting them as taxes. And you expect them to abide by laws/rules?

    Political power and unfettered access are detrimental to nearly every politicians morals and ideals.

    It’s like you didn’t read my post where I explained Sarah Palin was brought into this by someone else, and I figured if we’re going to talk about Palin, we should note her tax issues. Nearly everyone, including your beloved Sarah, takes advantage of the system.

    Please explain. My mistake in saying taxes ON 17k versus taxes OF 17k? I made a mistake and acknoweldged that after you pointed it out. I also acknowledge that it’s a far cry from Claire’s tax liability. The issue wasn’t amount owed, it was credibility that Sarah has on taxes after another poster brought her into the fray. Sarah took advantage of the citizens who pay taxes in Alaska. Obviously, not to the degree Clarie did.

    Also, falling back and responding only with ‘typical leftist’ statements are lazy. You should work on expressing your feelings with words!

    If I came in here and talked about how so-and-so Republican cheated on his wife and should be recalled/resign and then pointed to Bill Clinton as an example of the left of someone taking responsibility, you all would jump at that and laugh me off of the site, and rightfully so.

    When someone here talks about Sarah Palin in regards to tax issues, I’m calling it out. And I’m an equal opportunity guy.

    Our tax code is confusing and often arcane enough without new rulings to complicate matters.

    Unlike tax evading Dems, Palin asked for a review of the tax implications of the per diem she was claiming. It was concluded that it should be treated as income, and a revised W-2 form was submitted to reflect that.

    Of course most people do everything they can, legally, to avoid paying taxes, but does anyone believe Claire would have asked for a review on her own to make sure she paid every cent of taxes due?

    That settles that then. Taxes are far too complicated. The more expensive the property and higher income one has the more complicated it gets. Especially when more than one entity and multiple tax liabilities concerned.

    That should also be the beginning, not the end of this. She has violated the law, and the public trust. She has betrayed her oath of office. There are many things that should happen to her, aside from being voted out of office.

    She should be removed from any committee having to do with any type of finance and/or appropriations.She should be made to pay all penalties and interest accrued on the unpaid tax bill.

    She should be censured in the Senate.

    She should be prosecuted for any violations of law; she has admitted to wrong-doing already, otherwise she wouldn’t have rushed to repay the treasury. *Questions:

    She has supposedly reimbursed the treasury $88,000 for 89 trips on a private jet. Are these rounds trips? Even if they are not, is $989/trip the going rate for the use of a private jet for hire?

    Methinks she is still trying to hoodwink the public. Still, I can’t blame her for not wanting to fly normal commercial airlines…she undoubtedly, would have been required to purchase two tickets per flight because of her width.

    The agenda here is a tax code so simple even a Democrat would have a serious problem in wasting time to evade it. But the problem is one of politics own making – so much of everything in every way, shape or form taxable from the local level up to the federal with accompanying complicated rules and forms to boot.

    Does any environmentalist have any idea how many trees have to die (or tons of recycled paper used) for all the tax related documents that have to be provided and submitted for complying with tax returns? Not to mention the huge cost of time and money expended for preparation.

    Only because of A NEW RULING. Are you that stupid to not know WTF that means ?

    Your insults sting.

    Do you feel comfortable that Alaska taxpayers paid for her daughter’s separate hotel rooms when she attended functions that they weren’t invited to? She abused the system. Fact.

    Oh, so now it’s from tax on per diem to her daughters motel rooms.

    Thanks for answering my question that I’ve re-included.

    POLITICO revealed she used taxpayer money to cover the cost of political travel.

    That would be a horse of a different color. Why do many politicians have the belief that taxpayer money is their own political expense fund? And why do they not receive appropriate punishment for that behavior. Paying back the money when caught isn’t enough.

    And by extension, Dear Claire hurried up and paid those said taxes before the State could investigate?? By the way, rumor has it the State is going to investigate dear Claire anyway, where there is a Tax Dodger there is a tax Dodger with more to hide.

    And damn straight, she should be investigated. Regardless if she paid it back.

    I didn’t read that story..if true, that’s outrageous. I don’t have time to read every single article related to this issue. Thanks for bringing that information forward. That’s definitely a red flag.

    BTW – Bill Maher (no surprise) used a vulgar misogynistic term to describe Palin, and shockingly (ok, not) NOW is silent about it. I can understand Palin being behind all evil in the world, like killing Mary Jo and lawyering up and keeping quiet about it, and boinking interns in the WH and all, but I never understood why she ran a gay whorehouse in Barney Frank’s home and kept it secret from him. Oh wait – she didn’t do those things? But every time a Dem commits a crime or indulges in moral turpitude, somehow Palin’s name comes up as a diversion…

    Maher made his ridiculous comments on Friday night. Claire McCaskill’s tax issues came to light on Monday.

    Unless you think they told Maher to make these comments in advance of this news…

    The IRS should notify her of an impending audit today! Though the taxes owed are not the perview of the IRS, if she “forgets” some taxes then she probably forgets other taxes. Hell, I get audited when I owe $200 and I make a lot, I mean a lot less than her. How come mega rich liberals never get the IRS colonoscopy?

    Was on Levin tonight, he’s the one that found the tax issue with McCaskill. His GOP opponent is a RINO.

    really?

    On March 16, 2011, McCaskill told reporters that she was “embarrassed” about revelations that her office had billed taxpayers for the senator’s use of a private airplane she co-owns with her husband

    (emphasis mine)

    and then her response was (I’m reprinting it here to show the lunacy)

    “The Missouri Republican Party is going to try to ride this horse as long as they can. They’re going to try to make this as big a deal as they can. Them filing the ethics complaint is about as surprising as the sun coming up.”
