Given that Obama Supports “Tax Cuts” for Those Who Don’t Pay Taxes . . .

January 15, 2009 by GayPatriotWest

. . it makes sense he’d pick a man to serve as Treasury Secretary who took tax reimbursements for taxes he didn’t pay.

    I’m just wondering, do you think the rest of us could ditch out on paying our taxes and then use the Steve Martin “I forgot” defense? Or, are only high-level Democrats (Geithner, Rangel, Franken) allowed to do that?

    Of course, us hard working rubes have to pay for our overlords!

    I’m glad you were wise enough to place the phrase “tax cuts” in your post title in quotes, since it was a lie during the campaign, and it’s a lie now.

    so, torrentprime, you’re saying Obama was lying that he intends to tax cut or lying when he called tax cuts government giveaways that are anything but tax cuts?

    Joe Biden said that paying taxes was patriotic. Clearly, the nominee for Treasury Secretary ain’t.

    GEITHNER & RANGEL TO BE SUBPOENAED IN TAX FRAUD CASE

    Federal Case Alleges Political Elite Get Favorable Tax Treatment Over Ordinary Citizens

    On 5 March 2009 a Motion was filed in U.S. v. David Jacquot, Case # CR 08-1171, in the Federal District Court, in San Diego, California seeking to dismiss a false tax return indictment on the grounds that the Defendant was not treated in the same manner as politically prominent individuals. A hearing on this matter is set for 30 March 2009 in San Diego and the Defendant in this case intends to subpoena Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, and others.

    The Defendant in this case is David Jacquot, an attorney and retired Army Officer. He is a decorated disabled Desert Storm veteran living in rural Idaho with his family.

    This “Geithner Motion” cites HR 735 titled the “Rangel Rule Act of 2009,” which if enacted, would eliminate penalties and interest for common citizens to allow them to be treated in the same manner as House Ways and Means Chairman Representative Charles Rangel. The Geithner Motion also quotes President Obama stressing the need to “treat common citizens in the same manner as politically prominent individuals in regards to tax matters”.

    The Geithner Motion details how Mr. Jacquot was vindictively indicted in retaliation for his successful defense of his clients against the IRS. The tax returns of his corporate law firm for the four (4) years of 2001 to 2004 were investigated and the government alleges that the law firm declared almost $200,000 TOO MUCH income during this time period. The Geithner Motion contains descriptions of numerous actions by the government and Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Faith Devine that are the basis for the claim of retaliation against Mr. Jacquot for his zealous representation of his client’s Constitutional and statutory rights. The improper actions of AUSA Devine have been reported to the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility for disciplinary action and are currently under review.
