Does obama know anyone who actually pays their taxes?

Since his cabinet appointees seem to not pay taxes (which would land most of us in prison if we didn't pay $125000), is this because he doesn't have friends who pay taxes and is this the reason he doesn't mind raising taxes since he doesn't have friends who pay taxes?

    Apparently not! It is sickening how it seems as if every other day some stupid a$$ politician is breaking' a law (or two) and getting away w/ it.

    Where is the anger, the out cry, the protest? Where is the accountability. How can I trust these people to run my country when they are guilty of cheating my country?

    This is pathetic!

    Well, this doesn't make much sense. Daschle must be amongst the poor. His taxes are less than the magical $250,000 a year you need to be considered rich. Obama should have a fund raiser to help pay all of Daschle's back taxes, so that he may live the American Dream!

    </sarcasm>

    Unbelievable. This guy fails to pay taxes that amount to more money than I make in a whole year and all he has to do is say he is embarrassed and sorry.

    Actually the Republicans pay the overwhelming majority of the taxes. If Obama wouldn't have promised welfare checks to half of Americans for not doing anything he would of lost badly.

    You said a mouth full... I wonder why they did not have their accounts frozen, like us...

    I'm asking for an audit of all the elected people in DC. It seems that they either forget or don't know how to do their taxes.

    Let's get the IRS in there to help them..

    I answer your foolishness with foolishness of my own.

    Did George W. Bush know anyone who read the Constitution?

    That is the nature of politics. However, unlike Bush's cronies, Obama's cronies are at the very least paying their restitution. Granted, it is for selfish reasons, but they are still paying off those taxes.
