Press Conference: Amazing Unpaid Taxes

President Bush said he was “amazed” that a “phenomenal” amount of taxpayer money goes unpaid every year.

What a difference a year makes.

Just last August, remember, President Bush explained why he’s refusing to close tax loopholes or roll back tax cuts for those earning over $200,000 a year because, as he said, “the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway.”

Who does he mean when he talks about taxes not being paid? It seems that little or nothing is done about going after corporations or the wealthy.

Yeah but those really rich bastards contribute to his campaign. The peaants don’t. The peasants can’t as easily afford good accountants or be able to defend themselves when they get audited either. We like to kick people when they are down, ya know. Thats what makes our country so great.
