Rahm's 2009 Illinois tax return indicated he was only a “part-year resident’’ that year, and had moved to Washington D.C. But after returning to Chicago to run for mayor — and after several people challenged whether he was eligible to run, Rahm filed an amended return. “The original return’s statements regarding part-year residency were not accurate,” Emanuel and his wife wrote in a return filed Nov. 24. “The amended returns make clear that we were full-year residents of Illinois in 2009. … We are also full-year residents of Illinois in 2010.”
But did he pay his Illinois property taxes?
The Illinois Review News reported then-Congressman Rahm Emanuel and his wife did not pay real estate taxes b/c according to the Cook County Assessor’s website multi-millionaire Rahm Emanuel's Chicago home didnt’t exist. There seemed to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.
The Cook County Assessor’s and Cook County Treasurer’s online records indicated Emanuel’s neighbors pay between $3,500-$7,000 annually. The Illinois Review News organ's investigative reporters was unable to locate any evidence that Emanuel--- a multi-millionaire---was paying taxes.
The revealing statement here is that Emanuel checked the box "part-year resident" in his original 2009 Illinois tax return (now amended).
Rahm checked that off truthfully b/c he figured he wasn't going back to Chicago for a long, long time.
Then Obama's numbers started diving as the Tea Party ascended. Rahm was given the bum's rush out of Washington before Midterms----as disaster loomed.
Rahm committed the ultimate crime---he failed to protect Obama from failure. Out of power----he needed to show he was still a player---thus the mayoral run.
THE RAHM EMANUEL LOSER EFFECT 4-term (gag)Congressman Rahm was beatified as the man who masterminded Dems takeover of Congress and WH. Cong Rahm ran (gag) "Our Common Values PAC" and chaired the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee 2006-07.
Rahm had Dems winning in solid Republican districts running as "true believers." Rahm duped the voters again and again----he had Maoist Candidate Ohaha saying things like, "I want to be another Reagan."
The GOOD NEWS is ALL those Rahmified Dems are gone in the blitz of Nov 2. And Obama is treading on quicksand as we type.
