Another Deduction!

Another Obama administration nominee with tax problems! Nancy Killefer has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government due to a failure to pay employment taxes on household help for a year and a half.
The AP reported that on March 7, 2005, the D.C. Department of Employment Services slapped a tax lien on her home in the tony Wesley Heights neighborhood. The local government alleged that just three years after she left the high-powered Treasury post she began to fail to pay unemployment compensation tax for a household employee. And she failed to make the required quarterly payments for a year and half, whereupon a lien for $946.69 was placed on her home.
You know, if these officials, lawmakers and other fat cats actually paid their share of taxes like the rest of us, maybe our federal budget wouldn't be in such a crisis.

  1. I think one of the reasons that Democrats are so quick to raise taxes, is because they don't pay them.
