ah, I figured out the trick ... on Republican tax cheats

[zbdent]

the media reports Republican tax cheats as "tax evasion". You look up "tax cheats" and all you get are stories about Tom Daschle and Democrats.

But look for "Republican tax evasion" (less nasty term, favored by media for Republicans), and then you see more Republicans who cheated on their taxes.

A few examples (so far):

Randy Duke Cunningham; pled guilty to tax evasion

James A. Ortenzio; GOP leader of Manhattan; admitted tax cheating (media called it "evasion") 11/15/2007 http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/15/manhattan-gop-leader-admits-tax-evasion/

Robert Beale; founder of Minnesota Christian Coalition, delegate to national Republican convention; reported in Minneapolis Star-Tribune in August 2006; World Nut Daily defends: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32878
(did not file federal or state tax returns for four years, even though he received at least $5,696,574 in income between Jan. 1, 2000, and about September 2004.)

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher owes the state of Ohio $ 1,200.00 in back taxes for his income. http://politicolnews.blogspot.com/2008/10/joe-plumber-tax-liens-for-tax-evasion.html
