Al Franken Implements Senator Harry Reid’s “Voluntary” Taxation Strategy

» by Jenn Sierra in: FHK/General

Last month, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) tried to convince Jan Helfeld that taxation is voluntary. Of course for high-powered Democrats like Harry Reid, details such as accurately disclosing one’s income and property apparently is optional.

So, Al Franken, who is trying to get one of those U.S. Democratic Senate jobs (Minnesota) where taxation is “voluntary,” yesterday announced that he has chosen to pay $70K in state income taxes to 17 states over the last five tax years. Why didn’t he voluntarily do this before? Well, it’s his accountant’s fault, of course.

In the true spirit of today’s Democratic Party, insiders are happy to report that a revelation of tax evasion by their candidate in 17 states has not significantly damaged his Senate campaign in Minnesota…they’ll continue to watch the polls to determine whether he’s fit to represent taxpayers in the United States Senate. A word of caution, however:

DFL insiders say Al Franken committed a huge blunder by not hiring an independent opposition researcher to see what dirt could be dug up on him before he launched his candidacy.

So, apparently, if you’re a Democrat, taxation is voluntary, but you need to cover your financial tracks better if you’re smack-dab in the middle of an election campaign.
