POLITICS: Tax evaders not wanted

Well, here we go again. Those fools who call themselves the only “Real Republicans” have brought into their fold another disciple of the far right.

First, we had Phil Hart, also known as “the thief.” Not only was he a tax evader but stole from school kids and then lied about it. Now we get John Green, who is charged with helping others try to beat their taxes. See the 16th Amendment.

Who gets hurt when tax cheats don’t pay their share of taxes? One clear example is the military, those putting their lives on the line for our country. That includes my son, who has served on active duty in the Air Force for 22 years. The easiest way for a tax cheat to NOT support the military is to refuse to adequately pay our military men and women.

Unfortunately, these leeches dream up even more claptrap to justify their actions of tax evasion. Furthermore, John Green has taken to quoting Adolf Hitler.

And there you have it, a former state representative who steals from public schools and lies about it and a present state representative, John Green, who is charged with helping others to try and evade taxes and has also been found to have lied to a judge. These actions amount to non-support of our military.

Some of these charges are allegations. Others have been proven in court.

Wake up Kootenai County! Step up! Let’s support law-abiding citizens, not liars and cheats.
