TAXES: Don't pay and see you later

| February 13, 2015 8:00 PM

So Ralph Hallock has announced he’s not paying taxes because of other people’s injustice of not doing so? Good luck with that.

Why didn’t Mr. Hallock whine about the L.A. Dodgers’ former owner Frank McCourt, who legally weasels out of paying federal income taxes on $40,000,000 because one Limited Liability Corporation loaned another LLC money that borrowed money on the next year’s ticket sales? Frank had 14 LLCs at last count under his control.

All based in “weasel central”… Aka Delaware.

You know, like Ireland, home of billions of tax dodging corporate dollars right wingers love to ignore so much.

And then we wonder why Republicans have lost five of the last six national elections when more than 40 percent of the voting aged public bothers to vote. Unlike so-called Republican wave mid-term elections with pathetic turnout.

But OK Ralph, good luck with that!
