Do as I Say, Not as I Pay


Why is it that most liberals scream against tax cuts but do everything possible to avoid paying taxes themselves? Sometimes the greatest opponents of tax cuts use savvy accounting practices to pay the least amount of taxes as possible for themselves.

Al Franken who has railed against tax cuts for years has been found to owe $70,000 in back taxes. He said he was given some bad advice by his accountant. Yeah okay.

To avoid hypocrisy why don't these people simply use a 1040 EZ tax form, pay the highest amount possible?

Good point.
Same can be said for many of our Congress critters, I dare say! (wonder how much Hillary actually PAYS?)

That's why Islamic zakat makes so much sense - it is a % of WEALTH (sustained for a year), rather than a tax on income ie slavery
