How can she be a Dim, after preparing tax returns? I’ve been in the biz for 29 years, started DIM, but became brighter watching the tax grabs.

Yeap, the politician want you to do as I say, not as I do. There should be a law which states, if a person does not pay their state or federal taxes they are ineligible to run for office. Why should law makers be above the law?

I am a native of the area where she is from, and I’ve known her and her family for decades. Here’s my take: PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL. Anyone who knows her personality could see this coming. Yep.

I’m glad she didn’t get reelected. Geez. You’d think a state rep would be smart enough to pay taxes. This apparently is only good at spending taxpayers dollars.

Former state Rep. Jamieson indicted for tax evasion
Monday, July 27th, 2009

Former Rep. Jeanette Jamieson, D-Toccoa
You remember state Rep. Jeanette Jamieson, D-Toccoa: She’s the veteran lawmaker who finally lost her 12th bid for reelection to a Republican challenger last year after it was revealed that she owed more than $45,000 in back state taxes. Did we mention that her day job is as an accountant and tax preparer?

Well, apparently, Attorney General Thurbert Baker didn’t think Jamieson’s gaffe was as funny as we did. According to Dick Pettys at Insider Advantage, Baker has charged his former House colleague with two counts of evading state income taxes.

You know, when I read the headline on the front page, I fully expected it to be a Republican. This is much more typical of their behavior. The truth is, both parties have their rotten apples.

As info — When Sonny was elected, he tried to convince Jeannette to switch to the GOP. When she didn’t, he poured money into candidates who would oppose her. It finally worked in 2008.

What law says you are required to file a 1040? And what about the 5th amendment? How about the 4th?

The 16th amendment shouldve never been passed. It has only been used to collect money from the people to be used as bailout for the financial oligarchy when their bets (like real estate) go sour.

You should all read the history of the Federal Reserve and how their interest bearing loans are mathematically impossible to pay back and that their stated goal of controlling “inflation” is actually caused by the very workings of how they issue credit!

YOU ARE ALL FOOLS WHO BUY INTO THIS REPUBLICAN VS. DEMOCRAT IDEALOGICAL WAR.

It’s all about control of our money. Either the government (socialism) or the corporations (fascist). There *is* no such thing as the United States anymore. Silly Americans!
