Does Everyone Cheat On Their Taxes?
Saturday February 28, 2009
Gawker reports that another high-ranking Obama Administration staffer -- the person charged with vetting nominees -- may have a tax issue of his own. It looks like White House general counsel Gregory Craig is party to unpaid taxes to the Washington D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs because there is no business license (and thus taxes) for the business that his wife runs out of their home.
Has cheating on taxes become as American as apple pie?

I’be been a practicing CPA for 30 years and I can state without a doubt that most people do not cheat on their taxes. Some won’t even fudge a value on charitable donations of clothing. Many will make mistakes because the law is way too complicated but that’s where we come in. The Obama group are, IMO, genuine tax cheats. They knew or should have known what they were doing was clearly wrong.
Thanks, P.K., for the personal observation.
