Two Gubernatorial Candidates Owe Back Taxes

[NutmegYankee]

They want to take charge of the state government and its $22 billion annual budget, but they haven't been able to pay some of their own personal bills — including state or federal taxes.

That's true of two of the seven candidates for governor in the November election, a Government Watch examination of public records shows:

Republican candidate Martha Dean, one of six contenders for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, has two federal tax liens on her Avon home, filed in late 2011 when she owed the IRS $181,100.

Joe Visconti of West Hartford, one of her rivals for the state GOP's gubernatorial nomination in the November election, has liens for more than $80,000 on his West Hartford home including a state tax lien for $4,064 that he has owed the Department of Revenue Services since 2007.

Typical Republicans...

1. Rethugs have decided that they don't have to pay taxes anymore..

and their followers feel the same

3. "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."

Shame their followers haven't caught on that they are little people.

2. Hey, if Clive Bundy can be a deadbeat and be a Republic hero, why not me?

Deadbeat is cool these days in Republic circles.

4. Apprarently cheating on your spouse is OK too.

The woman he cheated with on the other hand... She was too immoral.
