Update on Dems with tax problems (it's a longggg list)

Faster horses

Well-known member
I got this in a email.

$34,000: the amount of federal taxes that Secretary of the
Treasury Timothy Geithner (D) failed to pay during his
employment at the International Monetary Fund despite
receiving extra compensation and explanatory brochures that
described his tax liabilities.





$75,000: the amount of money that the head of the powerful
tax-writing committee, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), was
forced to report on his taxes after the discovery that he
had not reported income from a Costa Rican rental property.
His excuses for the failure started with blaming his wife,
then his accountant and finally the fact that he didn't
speak Spanish.





$93,000: the amount of petty cash each Congressional
representative voted to give themselves in January 2009
during the height of an economic meltdown.





$133,900: the amount Fannie Mae "invested" in Chris Dodd
(D-CT), head of the powerful Senate Banking Committee,
presumably to repel oversight of the GSE prior to its
meltdown. Said meltdown helped touch off the current
economic crisis. In only a few years time, Fannie also
"invested" over $105,000 in then-Senator Barack Obama.





$140,000: the amount of back taxes and interest that Cabinet
nominee Tom Daschle (D) was forced to cough up after the
vetting process revealed significant, unexplained tax
liabilities.





$356,000: the approximate amount of income and deductions
that Daschle (D) was forced to report on his amended 2005
and 2007 tax returns after being caught cheating on his
taxes. This includes $255,256 for the use of a car service,
$83,333 in unreported income, and $14,963 in charitable
contributions.





$800,000: the amount of "sweetheart" mortgages Senate
Banking Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) received from Countrywide
Financial, the details for which he has refused to release
details despite months of promises to do so. Countrywide was
once the nation's largest mortgage lender and linked to
Government-Sponsored Entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. Their meltdown precipitated the current financial
crisis. Just days ago in Pennsylvania, Countrywide was
forced to pay $1 50,000,000 in mortgage assistance
following "a state investigation that concluded that
Countrywide relaxed its underwriting standards to sell risky
loans to consumers who did not understand them and could not
afford them."





$1,000,000: the estimated amount of donations by Denise
Rich, wife of fugitive Marc Rich, to Democrat interests and
the William J. Clinton Foundation in an apparent quid pro
quo deal that resulted in a pardon for Mr. Rich. The pardon
was reviewed and blessed by Obama Attorney General and then
Deputy AG Eric Holder, despite numerous requests by
government officials to turn it down.





$12,000,000: the amount of TARP money provided to community
bank OneUnited despite the fact that it did not qualify for
funds, and was "under attack from its regulators for
allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay
abuses." It turns out that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), a key
contributor to the Fannie Mae meltdown, just happens to be
married to one of the bank's ex-directors.





$23,500,000: The upper range of net worth Rep. Allan
Mollohan (D-WV) accumulated in four years time according to
The Washington Post through earmarks of "tens of millions of
dollars to groups associated with his own business
partners."





$2,000,000,000: ($2 billion) the approximate amount of money
that House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) is
earmarking related to his son's lobbying efforts. Craig Obey
is "a top lobbyist for the nonprofit group" that would
receive a roughly $2 billion component of the "Stimulus"
package.





$3,700,000,000: ($3.7 billion) not to be outdone, this is
the estimated value of various defense contracts awarded to
a company controlled by the husband of Rep. Diane Feinstein
(D-CA). Despite an obvious conflict-of-interest as "a member
of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee,
Sen. Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to
her husband's firms ."





$4,190,000,000: ($4.19 billion) the amount of money in the
so-called "Stimulus" package devoted to fraudulent voter
registration ACORN group under the auspices of "Community
Stabilization Activities". ACORN is currently the subject of
a RICO suit in Ohio.





$1,646,000,000,000 ($1.646 trillion): the approximate amount
of annual United States exports endangered by the "Stimulus"
package, which provides a "Buy American" stricture.
According to international trade experts, a "US-EU trade war
looms", which could result in a worldwide economic
depression reminiscent of that touched off by the
protectionist Smoot-Hawley Act.





It's not just a culture of corruption. It's a culture of
corruption and stupidity. And, unlike Republicans, Democrats
appear to be above the law. All of the aforementioned clowns
are still in office, ruling like the royalty they've become.
