Howie's Tom Daschle Tax Evader Rant!

" I must say. I've been waiting all weekend to bring up this topic is -- the story broke on Friday night after he got home from work. Here. And that is that palm Daschle the former. Senator. The erstwhile prairie populist and scourge of multiple presidential nominees he is now the nominees. To become secretary of health and human services. And guess why stop me if you've heard this would before. One of Barack Obama's appointees. Or close personal associate. Then did not pay -- income taxes. That is outraged. Outraged. I couldn't agree with you more senator and is our wages that you have not paid it. What is what these people. You have to pay my taxes I just got another letter they want all might have they want all might checking account statements for the whole year and nothing else is borne fruit -- just decide they just keep deciding to dig deeper and deeper and deeper. Haven't done any thing. The many of these people these and these saint. Are not paying their taxes with -- impunity and they just get waived a right to know. Some Democrats said on the weekend that mr. Daschle deserves to be confirmed because they quote on quote. No all. That he is quote unquote honest. But that isn't the standard mr. Daschle set for GOP appointees who had no effort called saint. It just burns me up. Her desk at -- good they're getting away with deaths. I mean I. I am melted to this this -- I don't I don't try to cheat -- if I try to they have. If I tree if I was trying to cheat and I was pretty aware -- some I wouldn't Dahlia but I don't try to cheat because it's just too much its its not worth it to me to have this weather out to an arm and have to go to this BS every year so. In the guys these guys were running around talking about how why you know how greedy Republicans are and you know you're a traitor if you were if you try to set up these offshore accounts -- toward -- by the way our regional editorial in The Wall Street Journal. These big -- calling. Other people who who's trying to set up legal tax shelters traders. Daschle. Daschle didn't pay income tax is on a quarter of a million dollars. A quarter of a million dollars. Well does he think he has good time Charlie flurry. The former speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives another. Extinguished. Liberal politician. Okay on Regis Regis -- I had no idea and I -- brother calls everybody else's is is going to be is is. Irritated more than somewhat about this whole thing. Again and he won't be one thing if they weren't given lectures to everybody else but hey you know people like. Like Daschle. And -- In the Kennedy's. They're always telling you we're not paying your fair share. In yet. They don't have any intention. You don't forget I've given money to charity which not a hub though. They want even Palin campaign maxis."

" So Tom Daschle the erstwhile prairie populist the scourge of multiple presidential nominees failed to disclose and pay taxes on hundreds of thousands of dollars of income. He also waited months to pay up and told the Obama transit. Position team about his tax over sites only days before his senate confirmation hearing to become secretary of health and human services. This one this wall street journal editorial put it this one is going to be fascinating to watch less for what it says about mr. Daschle but what it will reveal about democratic standards. Every Republican and America knows that if mr. Daschle or Reagan or bush nominee he would now be headed back to private life faster than you could say John tower. That's the way Democrats have treated GOP nominee's work used go far lesser transaction impressions that mr. Daschle's tax per avoidance. Well did you hear that they -- would you find the clip by -- unified limits on out there he said he's disappointed. He's this a written statement he didn't make that you press for the microphone at their written letter that he sent an Apollo he was desolate. I keep coming back to -- comparing mr. bank robbery you know the collapse of surrounded the bank I'm I'm the bankrupt I'm disappointed. But the teller so off beat the silent alarm. I'm very disappointed. That the red dye pack went off. In my satchel full of stolen load and most of all disappointed that the bank has now surrounded. By cops. He's disappointed that."

" The audacity. Of these people."

" You -- the mr. Daschle senate Democrats led the campaign against quote unquote Benedict Arnold corporations that earn too much income overseas. The companies do this legally in part to avoid US corporate tax rate 35% that is lowest we've developed world's second highest. But that hasn't stopped the Daschle Democrats from comparing them the traders. It was the assault on the believe golf pack shelters lead in the Daschle senate by Democrat Carl Levin the eleven hearings encourage the Justice Department to prosecute employees who sold tax shelters for KPMG. -- tax -- found the mill legal. Under political pressure in 2002 the IRS disclose the names of users of the KPMG tax shelter including William Simon Jr. a Republican candidate for California governor. Democrats cried the mr. Simon was attached -- that he had a leash years of tax returns to show otherwise. Now we learn that mr. Daschle failed to report some 255000. Dollars in income. From 2005 through 2007. For car and driver surprise supplied them for personal used by the way. This was written you know yesterday or Saturday there if he had to pay 6000 dollars more back today I don't know what that was about I just saw the headline on the on not Fox News Channel. The -- they're they're finding more and more money videos enough unpaid taxes. The show first service was provided by Leo hindering a big democratic donor who also made mr. Daschle a bundle by making him a limited partner and -- media partners a private equity shop. As as a legal tax matter this isn't even a close call mr. like colleague Geithner. Calling -- take in the money for the withholding taxes in the just pocketing -- like guys -- the Treasury Secretary. -- claiming a tax write off funniest kids up overnight summer camp below it says the -- they -- in the regulations. IRS tax rules for dummies. That that you can't do that. Mr. Daschle says he used -- car service about 80% for personal use and 20% for business. But his spokeswoman says it only dawned on the senator last June that this might be tax taxable income. According to a journal report Friday. Daschle's excuses that he told committee staff he had grown used to having a car drivers majority leader did not think to report the -- brought his taxes according to staff members. How's that for a Leona Helmsley moment. Doesn't have free one -- cars and wrong and show for a while they. The Washington Post reports mr. Daschle has earned more than five million dollars over the past two years including 240000. Dollars from health care industry he's been nominated to regulate. Some Democrats out on the weekend that mr. Daschle deserves to be confirmed Ira just before because they didn't know he -- honest. They know he is honest. -- We'll be watching in particular to see how Democrats Max Baucus and Kent Conrad handle Daschle tax mass. Finance Sherman baucus gave up past the Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner albeit for a lesser offense and mr. Conrad also voted to confirm mr. Gardner though not without saying. He wouldn't have done so went quote unquote normal times. We assume that by more more he doesn't mean one or nominees -- Republican. If nothing also vote to confirm mr. Daschle will expose the and sincerity of democratic tax populism. I don't want be special treatment. You know I was like go through yet another tax on it. I just want to be treated like. Charlie Rangel. And I think Caroline Kennedy when she was proud when she had a mothers are stated in drug John when they had the mother's estate probate. And and the Kennedy family when they had rose Kennedy listed for a death tax purposes of the resident of Florida. Even though she had set foot in the state in twelve years. One these special treat -- want to be treated like Tim Geithner. And Tom Daschle that is outraged. Outraged. 18774694322. Pete you're next with how we cargo had paid."

" It's just amazing isn't it that they that they want this standard and their fall at DC hearing -- they are full of phony outrage fervor for these tax cheats and then it would once they get behind closed doors they don't think the world's applied to them."

" That's how you take legitimate thing just remembers -- so hard if -- Biden did they not yet."

" Thanks for the call -- 1877469432218774694322. You don't. I read mentioned on Friday this this Republican congressman from Texas but I never heard of key is name is Campbell had to file that file some kind of our writer or maybe separate legislation. To war establishing the Rangel role for all American taxpayers which is when you get caught you don't have to pay any interest or penalties. Pinnacle because that's the you know again. Were all right congressman Campbell is not looking for any special treatment for American taxpayers she's just looking for the same -- of the Charlie Rangel got. You know didn't pay taxes on 75000. Dollars for the rental income on his Condo in the Dominican and die he said he said it was a mistake. He tried to find out some information but -- Kaltbaum -- did that speaks Spanish. How's he spoke to speak Spanish she's married to someone wanted to speak Spanish from his congressional district speed is us Hispanic. But hey you know he's got confused it would have to hang up -- follow because they were speak it Spanish don't. That's a very believable excuse. You try that next I -- next time you got a problem with the IRS. Next time you get jammed up with a deal are. Joe I julliard next with how we cargo ahead Joe."

" You know how it this whole thing is just part of the Republican culture of corruption and that's. It has nothing. Nancy Pelosi says that the two and a half years ago this is good -- Italian Catholic grandmother from San Francisco how can you."

" Who just wants everybody to stop having children."

" That's that's thats right that would certainly that would certainly help negate the economic situation in this country and I've I've even heard. A few blogs and then a few other. Shall we say. NPR left this show is talking about they're. The racial undertones. Of these Republican challenging though appointments the Barack Obama. They wouldn't challenges the appointments that he was quite you know. That -- that are really don't want and then you know I'm not I'm not -- however -- it was on NPR over the weekend. That this is getting to the point it's it's ridiculous surrogate this administration is very pretty much shot itself -- the book would be you know with the kind of people who are putting in air.

He sees people as much about this where whereas whereas this wonderful change that we're expecting what we're having more corruption and before and that's you know."

" They always a guy there was the smartest guy in the world and they needed them I mean how can they make this argument what Daschle I mean Daschle was just another democratic hack a dime a dozen politicians from Washington I mean they -- they could replaced Daschle and ten minutes why don't."

" Sure I would listen we've already lost all our money in the stock market this is just going to be up for your lap I don't care work."

" Now I don't I -- more amused by it than anything else but I I I must say though it's it's sure it is rather ironic when you think what -- is a Wall Street Journal says what would happen if if this -- Republican. If if John McCain had been elected if he were trying to appoint somebody like and who had this to the and we try to appoint multiple people -- these kind of tax problem."
