3. Smoke and Mirrors
The tax thing can be used as something controversial in the M$M, and everyone can debate it to death.

But the real controversy is his appt as HHS while being so deeply in the pockets of the Medical Insurance Pharmaceutical Complex.

4. He keeps lying.
It's the HHS thing too. But, I can't stand for him to keep lying about it. He claims he thought it was a "gift from a good friend". Any GIFT resulting in $100,000 tax liability is TAXABLE under all situations! Makes me wonder what other GIFTS he thinks are non-taxable.

7. It's fodder for concern trolls and RW radio talk show hosts.
Right up there with the greek columns and Obama's "aunt" living in the U.S. illegally.
