Pig Lady McCaskill is very upset.

That she was caught.

Taxes are for the Republican sheep to pay. Not for democrat party thieves.

Just found this:

“McCaskill and her husband, Joe Shepard, co-own the eight-seat, two-engine plane with other investors. They bought it in July of 2006 through Sunset Cove Associates, an LLC her husband incorporated in 2002.”

Well, on the bright side, Claire can now fly with the masses and enjoy many more “love pats” from the TSA. That’s how she described ‘em, anyway.

“There are people I could blame for this,” she said. “[But] I take full responsibility for the mistake. I shouldn’t have assumed somebody was doing it.”

Standard answer for a Democrat - ONLY when they get caught.

I can honestly see somebody not knowing that they had to pay property taxes on a plane. You don’t pay property taxes on a car and you don’t typically live in a plane.

I’d chalk this up to her accountant being negligent and the airport she kept it in also being negligent.

Figuring out all those taxes is tough. Even for someone who was State Auditor of Missouri from 1999 to 2007 don’t you know.

In Missouri, a tax on cars, boats and airplanes is collected every year.

Wesley Snipes, because he was unwisely led, choose to fight the feds rather than cough up the dough.

He should be out of prison soon, he wouldn’t be the type to cause trouble in prison.

exactly what I was thinking...in what universe can you rack up a $287,000 property tax bill on a plane? And in what universe can you owe $287,000 in property taxes and only have to pay up when a newspaper brings up the subject? I'm guessing I would be in all kinds of hot water if I owed the Govmnt that kind of dough.

She fancied herself as a Nancy Pelosi...Jetting home each weekend in her private jet and leaving a big old carbon footprint. But Nancy pulled enough rank to get a free military jet at her disposal while McCaskill robbed her (the taxpayers) Senate funds to pay her jet expenses

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is out with a web ad targeting Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) over recent reports suggesting she used taxpayer money to pay for air travel on a private plane partially owned by her and her husband.

She should have known then.

I wasn’t aware that she was once state auditor.

I’m from Canada and our tax structure is much easier to navigate. Our taxes might be higher, but we don’t nickel and dime people however we can to get the taxes.

Yep, this is the plane.

Check my post #24.

They not only didn't pay the taxes on it but it looks like she was trying to supplement the income on the plane for their investors.
