Default Does anybody really believe they are tax mistakes????

Given they are first lawyers. Second they are wealthy. Third they have accountants doing their returns. Et al.
I personally believe they are conscious decisions made by, supposedly, intelligent people, who knowingly elect to skate on the thin ice of the tax laws (as they interpret them). If they get caught they can afford to pay. If they don't they are ahead of the "game".
We will soon see if Obama's so called high standard of ethics is more than campaign rhetoric. With the Treasury candidate, being confirmed, I would say it is rhetoric only.
At some point the masses (I sometimes refer to as "sheeple") will eventually wake up and not tolerate the prostitution of the laws by those who make the laws.

There is NO excuse....NONE...lawyers know better...and procede based on their own personal desires....just like evreything else they do.

There are those in office and then are those of us who are expected to do as the law states.

I will will the so called "honest mistake" approach as I do my 2008 return!!!!
