New Hampshire Democrat Annie Kuster’s tax problem

February 6, 2013

  Last November Annie Kuster defeated Charlie Bass and became New Hampshire’s District 2 Representative. She ran the typical class warfare campaign: claiming that billionaires and billionaires weren’t paying their fair share, and saying that she understood middle class struggles and she would fight for them even though she was a millionaire herself who just happened to own two houses in New Hampshire.

  So you can imagine my surprise when the story broke a few days ago that Annie Kuster has a history of tax delinquency. At the time of her election she owed $14,000 in property taxes on one of her properties and when this story broke she still owed roughly $6,000 on that same property.

    But as I said, she has a history of tax delinquency, this isn’t the first time she has been late in paying her fair share: she has been delinquent for several years. To be fair, she has been making payments on her past due tax bill, but she has still refused to answer why while being worth a couple of million dollars she couldn’t pay her bill on time. I would say that it is because she didn’t want to.

  New Hampshire residents know exactly now important our property taxes are; because we have neither a sales nor income tax the state relies on property taxes to fund the state, yet while making the claim that millionaires and billionaires are not paying their fair share she has never been in a hurry to pay her fair share.

  Now that the story finally broke she somehow mustered the ability to pay the outstanding debt to the state, but one has to wonder if she would have paid so quickly if she wasn’t caught.

  Just another example of a Democrat who wants the people to live by one set of rules while she lives by another, she has been exposed for the hypocrite she really is.

    I’m surprised Obama didn’t make her Treasury Secretary.

    And I suppose this will not stop her from being re-elected? Or are you folks a little more critical of such things?

      I hope we are but I am not sure anymore. I don’t think enough people are paying attention.

    Send her to NJ. Former Governor John Corzine (D) misplaced $5 Billion here and then +-$2 Billion in the private sector. In the words of Hyman Roth, She’s small potatoes.
