McCain Defaulted on Home Taxes for the Past Four Years

newsweek.com — San Diego County officials, it turns out, have been sending out tax notices on the La Jolla property, an oceanfront condo, for four years without receiving a response. County records show the bills, which were mailed to a Phoenix address associated with Mrs. McCain's trust, were returned by the post office.

      • mrpither, on 06/29/2008, -7/+3well, that was from huffington, so most intelligent diggers probably just automatically bury that without looking at it. then if it appears again with a more reputable source, it will then start to garner some real attention.

    • LukasSmith, on 06/29/2008, -7/+4As if Obama has much more of an idea about economics. The sad fact is that in a time when we need a great economist to lead us neither candidate could lead a check stand at a grocery store. Whatever lines of economic knowledge that Obama or McCain feed us are handed to them in memos. They are both born bred politicians. Nothing could be worse for America.

  • xilduq, on 06/29/2008, -27/+17Come on, just because the McCains failed to manage their personal finances properly, people are going to claim he won't be able to manage the largest economy in the world. It's hard enough keeping up with the eight or so monthly bills I owe, think how hard it must be to keep track of their multitude (nine?) of houses/properties and associated bills they have. Let's cut them some slack here. I'm sure he won't be as forgetful with the country's finances.
    • Wartyboskfapped, on 06/29/2008, -6/+15You cut & paste this from the other thread about the subject. Obvious McCain shill.

      http://digg.com/politics/McCains_Failed_To_Pay_Tax ...

      To be fair, I'd usually bury anyone that gets into the "Republicans this", "Democrats that" rant because it's what reduces the debate into the pathetic state it is in and makes untrue generalizations about the other side. Also, taxes go into way more wasteful stuff than roads and schools. Those are not the problem, it's all the side crap the government has its fingers in where it has no business being involved.
      • chicofaraby, on 06/30/2008, -1/+1I find it amusing how right wingers are suddenly "beyond political parties." What else can they say after their policies have ***** the US economy so badly?
      • johndavidjack, on 06/30/2008, -0/+0Who has the majority in Congress again?

        You know, maybe if people started realizing it's not one person/parties fault, but an entire failure in our government in general we'd all get somewhere. The pointless bickering between the two parties does not help the American people.

        If you want to mention the economy, let's talk about oil. Bush and/or the democratic congress can't stop the huge increase in demand from countries like India/China since they are quickly becoming industrialized. What they could've done was developed our own natural resources, introduced legislations to fund (reliable/feasible) alternate energy, etc. They both failed, and as their predecessors did...

        The whole blaming Bush for everything is getting old.

      But seriously, why does it need to go to the top or Digg? Nothing that happens here makes a difference in the real world. People who think that it does are deluded and need to get out and do some real protesting and sign some real life petitions. Funny thing is though, every time I turn out for a real protest, hardly anyone else shows up. And when I help to circulate a petition, you can't get anyone to sign it.
      Digg does more harm than good because it makes people think that they're making a difference when they clearly aren't. This is all *****.

      • AlanLivingston, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1Perhaps you're not aware of Sen. McCain's response to a follow-up question by a reporter about his failure to choose Nevada Gov. Gibbons to chair his Nevada campaign. McCain responded, "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago."

        The parent post would be what is known as a joke. You might be able to recognize it if you'd pull that giant stick out of your ass.

        In case you're interested, here's the link to a report about McCain's unfortunate choice of response: http://lasvegassun.com/blogs/ralstons-flash/2008/j ...

        It's unfortunate because Gov. Gibbons currently going through some marital problems. You'd think McCain would have known not to use this tired joke, especially in this context.

      And you got it.
  • DaDrake, on 06/29/2008, -9/+35First, bit annoying that this article is on the front page twice (in the same day). Secondly, it was the bank's job to pay this small fee (7k for someone worth 340 mil) and they failed to because of a clerical error. From what I read, the situation was quickly resolved once it came to McCain attention; the entire notion that a family, worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars, will try to bail out on debt, worth a few thousand, on property, which you can not hide.... well... is ludicrous. The obvious implication is some type of fraud exists... but it defies common sense. Obviously, this is a clerical error and a breakdown in communication; looking at the current situation of most banks, I am not surprised at all.
    • Gutterpunk, on 06/29/2008, -8/+3No, the assumption is that his left hand doesn't know what his right one is doing.

      If he gets elected and forgets to pay the (***** load of) money that Bush loaned from the Chineses, will you go "oh, but thats only a small fee when compared to the billions America made, and it's not his job anyway"
      • p0s3r, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7"Chineses"? Are you serious?

        The State sent the tax bill to the wrong address they had listed for the trust that manages the property. Since you obviously don't know *****, that means the McCain's are not involved in any way in the management of the property.
      • dexter411, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Also, this has nothing to do with John McCain. His wife's elderly aunt lives in the property and she was unaware of the problem. But yes, just in case the first lady is put in charge of paying the Chinese for a small condominium...

    • Wartyboskfapped, on 06/29/2008, -10/+6RTFA they were sent reminder after reminder, to the right address, cos they eventually paid it. Just sloth and elitism from filthy rich out of touch *****, and this is what McCain will bring to the WH & the country. He's out of touch.
      • yoda133113, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5Um you must have read the wrong article, the city said their records showed the reminders were returned undelivered. They eventually paid it after Mrs. McCain found out because of the newsweek article itself, which was later updated.

    • yoda133113, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3um...7 years?
      There was only 4 years, and maybe if they would have knocked on the door they would have found out they were sending the notices to the wrong place for 4 years, granted the fact the government sent the notices to the same address for 4 years even though they were getting returned undeliverable amazes me.

    • Carramrod72, on 06/29/2008, -0/+6It says the property is occupied by an elderly relative. Taking care of your family is pretty high up in my book regardless of your political or financial status. Once again, petty *****. Many of the Hollywood "liberals" that support Obama have multiple homes. But I bet you don't mind thier endorsments. Its hard to write this and not seem like a McCain guy, but I most certainly am not. Lets focus on real issues. This is America, and if someone affords seven properties, it's not my problem. I do what makes me happy and I promise not to interfere with what makes you happy. Let's not judge people who don't live as simple as you and I. We hear things about people and judge them because we already had our minds made up anyway. It makes us no better than them. As I already said, I'm over this, and I hope we focus on real issues. Like how ***** evil and corrupt the ENTIRE system is and how it's up to us to see past our differences and change it. Not that someone we don't like made a mistake.

And I think you are part of the overall problem if you find this as a good point to shove up McCain's ass. Watching this election is like watching a puppet show where the audience thinks the puppets are real. I don't want to be a part of that *****.

    We are handing the keys to an old broken down clunker to one of two people and neither one is going to fix it, they'll just drive it into the ground further while we bicker over *****. Wake the ***** up idiots, we are embarassing ourselves in front of the rest of the world.
    • agarc, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3A lot of people will disagree with your view that the country will continue to decline. If we actually get somebody decent in office, it could really brighten spirits and inspire another wave of progress and economic recovery.

      A politician will always be a politician. But Obama is likely to be a far better president than Bush or McCain. If any of his talk comes to fruition, it will be a worthwhile improvement.
    • hierophantus, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Dugg for generally being true, but agarc's comment also dugg for being specifically true.

      This story means little and it does get us nowhere. I say that as a full Obama supporter (as have several other Obama supporters here) who believes it would make a vast positive difference to elect Obama over McCain. But none of that belief comes from "gotcha" crap like this.

      I just wish people on both sides would be honest. This isn't significant if it's McCain, and the ***** like lapel pins and Jeremiah Wright wasn't significant either. I certainly hope no one who bitched about coverage of lapel pins and preachers is jumping on the bandwagon with this story, and I hope everybody who jumped on the bandwagon for lapel pins and preachers is chugging down a Big Gulp of STFU rather than hypocritically whining about how this is a non-story (even though it is).

      But, I know better than to really hope that. Have at it, partisan shills.

  • iPirate, on 06/29/2008, -4/+3A lot of people are defending them by saying "The messages weren't delivered!" That doesn't matter. Everyone knows that you have to pay property tax. If you don't pay it, and don't receive a letter saying "Hey! Pay your taxes," you don't think to yourself "Awesome! I don't have to pay taxes anymore!" You contact the correct people and find out what the deal is. If they didn't pay their federal income tax for 4 years, and then we found out that the IRS letters weren't being delivered, would you use the same defense? It's not about being able to pay the taxes. It's about taking care of your responsibilities.

    • DaDrake, on 06/29/2008, -1/+2This is a county tax also .... if they didn't receive the notice, they aren't going to know about it.
  • dexter411, on 06/29/2008, -4/+9Buried as inaccurate. The poster wrote "McCain" to make it seem as if the GOP's presumptive candidate doesn't pay taxes while the article specifically writes that the property has nothing to do with him:

    "According to a McCain campaign aide, who requested anonymity when discussing a private matter, an elderly aunt of Mrs. McCain's lives in the condo, and the bank that manages the trust has not been receiving tax bills on the property. Shortly after NEWSWEEK inquired about the matter, the McCain aide e-mailed a receipt dated Friday, June 27, confirming payment by the trust to San Diego County in the amount of $6,744.42."

    PS: Ever notice that the only McCain-sympathetic comments that aren't buried are generally followed by "Obama '08!" or preceded by "I'm a huge fan of Obama, but"?
    • ssn697, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5This story is a big pile of fail. Talk about taking things out of context, lying about the candidate, and twisting facts.

      Isn't that what the Obama supporters here on Digg keep complaining about? Yet, here you have an Obama supporter posting a ***** story for effect.

      Why all the Digg ups, and self-aggrandizing comments? This story SHOULD be denounced by Obama supporters, yet they are reveling in it.

      Same *****, different party...

  • IdigObama, on 06/29/2008, -3/+6"We do hear an awful lot of excuses for why people don't pay," McAllister said. "Under the law, the property owner is responsible for keeping the address current. We're only as good as the information we are given."

    Flip Flop McSame/McBush!
  • peaceninja, on 06/29/2008, -2/+2zomg cindy didnt pay 1700 in taxes, burn the witch!!!

    seriously...beesaretasty's comment is 100% right.
  • DrPaul2008, on 06/29/2008, -5/+4Good for him! Some civil disobedience. The first good thing I've heard about either of these two clowns.
  • ATLien74, on 06/29/2008, -1/+3Digg is opening the can of whoopass on McCain. Two versions of this story on the front page at the same time.
    • tkstock, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1Ohhh... I bet he's worried. *shiver*
  • tkstock, on 06/29/2008, -2/+8What the heck is the problem? The post office returned the bills - it's not like McCain received them and refused to pay.
  • diggydougie, on 06/29/2008, -5/+5I'm conflicted on this one. On the one hand it shows him for the hypocrite that he is. After all he is big government, so he should support fascism in all forms. On the other hand I'm all for anybody not kneeling down to the thieves who demand money just because a person has something of value. Taxes are theft. I know that McCain has plenty, but to illustrate a point: If one man demands money from you it's robbery, if several people demand money from you it's still robbery but by a gang. If 51% of the people demand money from you (government) it's still robbery!. We tolerate it because we think that we have to - we don't.

  • chase001, on 06/29/2008, -2/+4His Sugar Momma should have paid her bills when they new he was running for the neocon's third term.
  • Arkons24, on 06/29/2008, -1/+2Cindy McCain in all likelyhood has an accountant to handle these things for her. That being said, she may be getting a new accountant sometime in the future. Don't be so naive.
