Seems strange to you because you can’t “think liberal”.

The basis of their worldview is elitism, and the elites must have the “flexibility” to ignore the rules they impose on others.

Take 7K off of your tax bill. When they come to collect, use that line on them. Let us know how it works out for you.

>> I personally know lots of liberals that have this exact attitude.

Us too!

Sometimes I feel sorry for liberals, especially our friends and acquaintences that are libs.

The intellectual dishonesty of liberalism causes lots of cognitive dissonance (that’s the $5 way of saying “after a while, being a hypocrite bothers your conscience”.)

I used to fight with them, but it’s not fun for anyone, me included. Now, I oh-so-gently draw them into a mild discussion during which I try oh-so-gently to make a point. Usually, they break the discussion off themselves, often with a simple “I don’t want to talk about it anymore”.

The really hilarious thing is, it’s usually the liberal in the group that provokes the discussion! Go figure.

I think it says more about the “pool” that he’s choosing from than his picks.

By that I mean that the majority of DemocRats probably are tax cheats.

Careful - they are vindictive bastards.

Anything that you do that is “disrespectful” will be PUNISHED.

Have a good lawyer with you.

Look at the poster’s recent history. It’s revealing.

On another hot day in the Oval Office, an ounce of dog cr8p can smell just as bad as a pound of dog cr8p.

Yeah, you’re right. And where this “skill” is concerned, ignorance is bliss!

W-a-i-t a minute. She was unaware of the tax liens?

Around these parts, you get a notice in the mail, then they put your name in the paper, then there’s a filing in court, then the sheriff nails a notice to your door...

and then the government shows up one day, confiscates your equipment, and puts a chain on the door,

Then there is an auction.

Kinda hard to not notice.

Thanks for the update.

But don’t forget the double loser Detroit.

The Mayor and the Lions.

Crikey: Labor Secy nominee Solis’s husband finally pays up 16-year-old tax liens

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/05/crikey-labor-secy-nominee-soliss-husband-finally-pays-up-16-year-old-tax-liens/

This administration has no shame.

No shame at all.

USA Today reports that the Obama White House sheepishly disclosed today that Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis’s hubby has just paid up 16-year-old tax liens…yesterday. The disclosure comes just hours before the nomination vote. Hope, Change, Transparency!

lol I'll keep that in mind, at least I have paid all my taxes, what flagged me for an audit was the fact that they issued a refund for more than what was on my return....go figure

Actually, it’s pretty helpful to understand how the SOBs think.

Thomas Sowell has a couple of great books out that do just that:
A Conflict of Visions
and
Vision of the Anointed (Self congratulation as the basis of social policy)
