We’re going to have to ask the question: Do you Democrats realize that you have to pay taxes?
ABC News has learned that the nomination of former Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., to be President Obama’s secretary of health and human services has hit a traffic snarl on its way through the Senate Finance Committee.
The controversy deals with a car and driver lent to Daschle by a wealthy Democratic friend — a chauffeur service the former senator used for years without declaring it on his taxes.
It remains an open question as to whether this is a “speed bump,” as a Democratic Senate ally of Daschle put it, or something more damaging.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, Democrats – so, when someone provides you a service it isn’t free just ’cause you’re an important Democrat and thus should have lots of free stuff. No, in the real world, we have to look in to who is giving what, and why, and whether it is applicable under the convoluted tax scheme you Democrats have saddled us with over the years.
Now, you could decide that a flat tax would be better as everyone would be clear on what they have to pay – but, if you decide that its better to have a screwball set of tax rules, then you’d darn well better obey each and every one of them right down to the smallest detail. Fair is fair, after all.
