Senate majority leader Harry Reid has a whole page on his official Senate.gov website devoted to revealing "THE FACTS ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS." One of the alleged facts promoted on Reid's website is that the Kochs do not pay any corporate taxes:
“They are known for bankrolling conservative, Libertarian and Tea Party causes and became poster boys for corporate tax reform last year when an Obama Administration official suggested Koch is organized as an S Corp. and so pays no corporate level taxes.”
The claim that the Koch brothers don't pay corporate income taxes was first made by former White House official Austan Goolsbee, but Koch Industries lawyer Mark Holden disputed the accusation and raised the question of whether someone in the Obama administration illegally accessed the Kochs' tax returns. Goolsbee's comments led to a federal investigation--the results of which have never been released.

This particular lie has been around the world twice now.
Would it be better if he weren’t feckless?
I’m still trying to figure out what’s illegal about organizing as a Subchapter S corporation. If it’s not illegal, where’s the beef? If the IRS has ho issue with it, what possible source of concern is there for Harry (Dogcrap) Reid?
Why is this little slimy-hump-backed-squirt allowed to use a government website to attack private citizens? Will not one member of the senate stand up and challenge this guy?
As I said on another thread, I remember a time when he would have been kicked out of the senate.
Absolutely true. The most despicable lies are half truths.
I don’t believe he’s Obama’s fall guy. I believe he’s the message boy to tells Obama what to do.
Unfortunately the next president, if republican, will say “We need to move on.” I think moveon.org got it’s name from a republican comment.
It would be better if he were retired.
Sure. Why not. Reid has lied, in our face and proudly, about everything else. Why not this?
Neither do money-laundering mobsters.
Thanks don-o.
Hmm..., Is that like Obama’s favorite contributor Warren Buffet not paying corporate taxes?
Now i see your point. Feckless Dems are more likely to retire than ones with feck. It is a good thing Reid is feckless.
I’d like him to BE retired. I’d have preferred that Sharron Angle have been given the support she needed to do the job.
And as for fecklessness, feel free to grade me on the quality of my usage.
Reid is hiding on the senate floor because he has “lie immunity” for anything he lies about on the floor.
the effete media like him because he gives the kook statement de jour.
Why not? It worked out great for him the last time he made that charge.
