NAACP avoiding taxes?

Is that why Rev. Barber refuses to register as a lobbyist despite the fact he is constantly at the legislature lobbying?

Hey scharrison looks like ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC cabinet nominee by Democratic President Barack Obama has problems not paying taxes.

The DEMOCRATIC Govenor of Kansas Sebilius and her husband owed over $8,000 in taxes and fines.

What were you saying about Republicans again? Grandstanding is not a crime. Not paying your taxes is a crime.

I stand (sit) corrected. There are a lot more names from Durham than Charlotte, it just seemed like there were mostly big numbers from the QC. There's some big numbers from Durham too...

In case anybody's interested, here's the N.C. Department of Revenue's Most Wanted list of those who owe back taxes.

note: it's a really fat pdf file (47 pages).

note to the note: that's not a good thing.

note to the note to the note: check out the Charlotte section. Wow.

Very good bill and a very good example of why you will make a terrific Congressman.

scharrison You do make a reasonable point in paragraph 2 but when you have the person being appointed to be in charge of the $$ and he fails to file his own taxes you just have to wonder...

By the way, I am registered democrat and I think both parties are full of losers.

This is exactly the kind of pointless partisan grandstanding that has earned the North Carolina Republican Party its powerless minority position.

Ooh! How about this: we should stop arresting drunk drivers and writing tickets to speeders because all those Senators and Representatives up in D.C. get special treatment by the police! It ain't fair!

No, that's freedom of the press. Free speech is a separate clause in the First Amendment.

Does freedom of speech only refer to the media that writes infammatory, biased 'news' stories?

Senator Hoyle should have been in the Obama's administration vetting team?

We are now in the top five of states for the highest unemployment. Maybe it is time for the Democrats to cut programs that are not needed or essential. And give businesses and individuals that actually pay taxes in NC a break. If we have more liquid income we will trickle that back up, LOL.

It would be a great opportunity for Sen. Hoyle to promote the idea of
the FAIRTAX proposal in Congress as a way for NC to become more equitable in tax collections.
