Do any democrats pay their taxes?
Here's a thought for reducing the deficit...do a tax audit on all persons in Congress. Apparently, they become honest when the public is about to find out, but yet still get the promotions.
Maybe we should focus on Democrats not paying thier taxes instead of offshore tax shelters. It seems the former is more prevalent.
