I really thought I had stumbled into a parallel universe, after reading the question and its author. Is deception illegal?

Yet, I was unmoved by the infraction of being late on taxes. Not many people are aware of the publications such as the Daily Journal of Commerce, which is a business publication and lists all of the bankruptcies, tax liens etc on individuals and companies in washington state. Other states have similar publications. It doesnt matter who you are, property taxes are either paid or they auction off the property. Willie Nelson, Wayne Newton and Ed McMahon have been on one list or another. I didnt see the outrage. Locally, if you knew all the people on websites such as this, you might find people you know.

The big difference here is the fact that these homes belong to Cindy McCain. They have a prenup, according to one interview or article, that I came across. Number two, she isnt running for office. She obviously hired someone to take care of this. At some point, they are required by law to put their holdings in a trust. Its doesnt prevent errors or mismanagement by the mgr. of the trust. They either screwed up or they had a dispute over the value of the property. That doesnt make them a crook.

I feel sorry for the people here who rely on class envy. The Clintons have their own money. John Kerrys wife is the spouse with money. It was Tereasa who owned the SUV's during the Kerry Campaign, not John. What those people choose to invest in, is their own business. If they fall behind on the payments or the taxes, its their responsibility. It doesnt make them a crook.

If you want to dig up some dirt, perhaps you google masters could go back a few years when Richard Gephart was railing about the rich not paying their fair share, while he did everything he legally could to avoid taxes on a 750,000 dollar home. That goes back a ways. Early nineties. Or you could go back and look up the tax deduction/loophole legislation that Dan Rostenkowski and Lloyd Benson were able to procure for businesses or people in their districts while railing that the rich dont pay their fair share. Perhaps hypocracy isnt illegal. It says volumes in my book. How many people, besides Hillary Clinton, would ask another candidate to pay off her campaign debts. I wonder if its true, she wants to be reimbursed for putting her own money into the campaign. How odd, that a person thinks that everyone else should pay for HER political campaign. Of course thats part of the party wish list, is public financing of campaigns. Dont want these rich Harvard graduates to have to spend their own money, do we? As long as the general public feels the rich are paying their fair share, it wont matter if we dont see the perks and the refunds, heading out the back door. Is deception, illegal?
