John and Cindy McCain, tax deadbeats
Newsweek is publishing an embarrassing report on the McCains...revealing that they have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California for the last four years and are currently in default.
Only the little people pay taxes?
I remember when he said he's not good with economy stuff, but if the McCains can't manage to pay their dang property taxes, why should we trust him with the finances of an entire nation?
After all...he IS running on experience....
From Newsweek: "When you're poor, it can be hard to pay the bills. When you're rich, it's hard to keep track of all the bills that need paying. It's a lesson Cindy McCain learned the hard way when NEWSWEEK raised questions about an overdue property-tax bill on a La Jolla, Calif., property owned by a trust that she oversees. Mrs. McCain is a beer heiress with an estimated $100 million fortune and, along with her husband, she owns at least seven properties, including condos in California and Arizona.
San Diego County officials, it turns out, have been sending out tax notices on the La Jolla property, an oceanfront condo, for four years without receiving a response.....
....Dan McAllister, treasurer- tax collector for San Diego County....said. "Under the law, the property owner is responsible for keeping the address current. We're only as good as the information we are given."
Common folks pay their taxes or get their houses taken away from them...do you think they'd let Joe Sixpack go four years?
"The McCains own at least seven homes through a variety of trusts and corporations controlled by Cindy McCain."
I guess it would be easy enough to forget...maybe they were too focused on the other six luxury homes and the oceanfront condo fell through the cracks. Talk about being out of touch with ordinary people...talk about elitist...the average American doesn't have so many houses that their full-time staff of accountants can overlook the taxes on one.
Especially with working-class people losing their homes because they can't afford their payments.
McCain will pass the buck to his wife's corporation. So...whenever reporters visit McCain in Arizona, they're visiting Cindy's ranch, not John's.
One of my favorite funny lines: "I couldn't understand why he'd be interested in me..."--Cindy McCain
Yeah, why would a 42 year old man be interested in a 24 year old blond millionaire heiress to a beer dynasty? Jeez, I can't imagine...and can't you just see his old Tailhook buddies laughing about that.
