Now let me get this straight. Obama has set a tax dodger to go after the tax dodgers? Hell, half of his administration are tax dodgers. And those are the ones we know about.

He’s got a bunch of experts on dodging taxes in his administration. Those jackasses will be able to fill him in on all of the tricks they used.

This wouldn't even be an issue if they made our corporate tax rate competitive with the rest of the world. If they were smart...oh, never mind...

I'm not sure the US has ever experienced this kind of "Amateur Hour" in government before.

It is now criminal to be a corporate CEO or anyone legitimately earning a living and not dependent on these idiots for sustenance.
