I can tell you that I personally had nothing to do with these people getting elected and I would bet the farm that X5Dawg didn't either.

Kinda funny really. The main people that I saw who were called out today for owing taxes were black and the Senate Minority Leader Robert Brown (who is also black) was quick to play the race card by showing a huge photo of Sen. Eric Johnson (the guy that called them and others out) holding our old state flag, which had a rebel cross on it. However, the photo was taken during a St. Patrick's Day parade in Savannah and the flag very well could have been our current state flag at that particular time. Pretty rediculous. Stop turning it into a racial thing and pay your freaking taxes.

Just the opposite actually. As a business owner, I can tell you that we get away with murder when it comes to taxes. The tax system in its current form is structured so that business owners pay less taxes than their employees. Capital gains tax rate is much lower than the regular income tax rate, and if a business owner has any brains, they take most of their income as capital gains. Plus, depending on what kind of business you own, you can have your business pay for quite a bit of your expenses and not pay any taxes on that money. Alternatively, regular employees have to pay income tax on most of their income, except for a few small deductions that some of them can claim.

Eric, how about you do some promotion about your business - what's it all about, tell us what you do, how you provide value and what you charge.

Hold your horses...Don't speak too soon. That is only three of the 22 lawmakers considered tax dodgers. The other 19 have been redacted from the list. Hmmm...

A total of 22 lawmakers are currently considered tax evaders by the revenue department. The three names released Thursday are for lawmakers who have already had action taken against them by revenue officials.
The department said it cannot release the names of 19 other lawmakers who have failed to file state income tax returns. That list, with the names redacted, has been provided to legislative leaders who are trying to crack down on tax dodgers.
Graham said the names of those 19 lawmakers — 16 in the House and 3 in the Senate — cannot be released until the lawmakers have been served with official papers from the department and given time to respond.
