Taxes? What are those?


What do the following people have in common:
Leona Helmsley, the late hotel baroness
Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury
Tom Daschle, withdrawn nomination as Secretary of Commerce
And now the mayor of a local township here in Connecticut

They all believe, as Leona Helmsley so charmingly put it, that only little people pay taxes. What a pathetic group. With all the resources at their disposal, how can it be possible they 'forgot' or 'overlooked' their tax obligations. These people are clearly just the tip of the iceberg. There are probably tens of thousands of politicians and wealthy who are underpaying or, worse, not paying taxes. All the federal government has to do is close loop holes in the tax code and go after tax evaders and they'd balance the budget in no time-even the one recently proposed. Call or email your Senator and Representative today and express your outrage. Enough is enough.
