Interesting. I hope it's wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that someone had misused access. Power has a way of corrupting people."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

I'm guessing that if someone were to dig deep enough, there would be names on both sides of the aisle that have done this. It's politics, after all."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Is this info supposed to be public or private? Not being a tax attorney or CPA or even a bookkeeper, I have no idea.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostI dont understand the confusion. I spent about 1 minute on the website and was able to see that Koch is a conglomerate that owns a load of subs, many of which are LLCs. So why is this secret info?"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

The LLC tag is commonly used as part of a company's trade name. There is nothing inherently private about it, esp if it is used by the company on its own website.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostIs this info supposed to be public or private?

I enjoy a good witch hunt, but this isn't one. Obama's birth certificate was much more compelling than this.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

You're up in the night on this one, DDD. Anyone who looks at someone's tax records for political purposes, whether the info is available elsewhere or not, should be prosecuted.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostThe LLC tag is commonly used as part of a company's trade name.

I work for a medical company that regularly fires employees for looking at medical records for ANY unauthorized reason. Recently, a person was fired who apparently looked at records from time to time simply out of curiosity. Our tax records deserve the same type of protection.
That said, although I think it may deserve an investigation, it sounds as if this may be a case of trying to find a house fire from the slightest whiff of smoke.

How about we just abolish the current income tax system and replace it with a national sales tax? People can then just buy things with cash and never worry about the government, at any level, abusing their power."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I didn't read the article, so I can't comment on specifics. but these kinds of accusations aren't new. I remember both Clinton and Dubya being accused of something very similar.
It's not really a shock that it comes out shortly before mid-terms though, is it?

At least they didn't divulge the inner sanctum of privileged info: that these LLCs are skating by with only limited liability. Of course, I'm only speculating here.Originally posted by Eddie Jones View PostBut LLCs don't pay income taxes!!! They are exploiting a tax loophole that needs to be sewn shut!!!
