Not great vetting by somebody, but some of the tax issues raised were pretty obscure.

So?

Tax cheats are tax cheats.

Cheating implies knowledge of the rules and intentional breaking of them. If that happened, they are tax cheats. If it didn't, they still must pay, but I wouldn't label them cheats.

What make you believe them? Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Sure, keep on believing they had no intention.

When did I say I believed one way or the other? I have no idea.

Read. Think. Then type. Step 2 is rarely applied by you.

Have you seen the IRC?

Nope. I have no desire to be in the business of politics. Those who choose to do that for a living really ought to be aware of anything that could cause them problems, no?

I was taught by my father to keep all receipts and anything else that is income related. I do this and pay someone to do my taxes. I don't need to read or understand the IRC.

Especially if you're going to be the one running Treasury.
