Because paying taxes when you employ workers is hard, right?

Won't someone think of the job creators?

Rep. Mick Mulvaney, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, disclosed in congressional documents that he did not pay more than $15,000 in taxes for a household employee.

Eight years ago, former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) withdrew from consideration as secretary for Health and Human Services in the Obama administration after it was revealed he failed to pay $128,000 in taxes for a personal car and driver, among other fees and contributions. Democrats made clear that they will demand the same treatment for Mulvaney, who is scheduled to face the Budget Committee for his confirmation hearing on Jan. 24.

[MMarston]

These picks are getting so stupid, it's actually getting boring.

 

[Bluth54]

Not paying taxes makes him smart.

 

[GuyKazama]

People make mistakes. It is fine if no Democrats vote for him. Won't matter at all.

Haha only an idiot would think trump nominees would be held to Obama nominees standards....

I made a template
"Trump picks <literally the worst candidate imaginable> for <any cabinet position>"

 

[- J - D -]

Sounds about right.

 

[Ishan]

Although to this case as long as it was a mistake and he made it,up with interest it's fine by me . Haven't read the full article not clear from,quoted parts in ops defense.

Edit okay one this guy is management and budget k that's a bit wonky then ...

they're all predictably awful in the same way

It just won't end.

Form of normalisation.

It's why I hate Leftist newspapers in the UK (namely The Independent) posting day and night about every small bad thing Trump does (even digging up dirt in his past). I hate the guy but if you flood people's feeds with it, they will get bored and it will lessen the impact of when he does something immediately terrible/destructive.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Admitted Tax Evader? So he appointed himself?

 

[archreaper93]

Of course he did.

 

[Hellwarden]

Birds of a feather...that hopefully get sucked into a jet engine.

 

[DrunkShogun]

I get trump is forming the league of villains but he is not even trying to hide this from the public. Good luck American gaf.

 

[Wag]

Up next: Trump appoints 400lb man to head the President's Council on Fitness.

 

[adj_noun]

Wait, how did Trump not make him head of the IRS?

 

[Razmos]

Lol I think it kinda peaked at "Trump hires climate change denier to oversee environment"

 

[timetokill]

Trump appoints Richard Spencer to head new department of not getting punched in the face

Christie ain't getting shit.

 

[Slayer-33]

Is this a fucking joke...

 

[SoulUnison]

What even is this post?

I can't even get a job as a 9 to 5 bank teller if there's a blemish on my credit score, but a tax evader up for the head of Management and Budget is a "people make mistakes" type thing to you?

 

[triplestation]

S-sad!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I'm honestly expecting Trump to drop Price for Secretary of Health and Human Services and find a convicted serial killer to replace him.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Lol I think it kinda peaked at "Trump hires climate change denier to oversee environment"

Yup, without a doubt, that's still the worst thing about this whole presidency.

 

[the_sun_king]

You literally cannot make this shit up.

What do you propose? They ignore shit?

Evading taxes is just smart business.

Why stop there? "Trump <makes literally the most catastrophic decision> for <any important matter>"

Damn, he got his cyber security czar to do double duty?

Evading taxes is just smart business.

I know you are joking, but tax avoidance is legal (and perfectly rational), tax evasion is illegal.
