It’s the joyous annual holiday on which Democrats gather with their families, feast at the government trough, and give thanks for all the taxes they “forgot to pay” or “overlooked” or “got incorrect advice from their tax preparer” or “missed because of a glitch in TurboTax.”
Tom Daschle. Tim Geithner. Hilda Solis. Ron Kirk. Kathleen Sebelius. And half the other people nominated for positions in the Obama administration will be celebrating today. And they will offer this simple prayer: “We thank you, FDR, for the bounty you have given us. And for all those phony Schedule C deductions, too.”
Remember President Obama’s pledge to simplify the tax code? What he meant, obviously, was “It’s simple to cheat on your taxes and get away with it. Especially if you’re a Democrat.”
