CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Palin told to pay back taxes - Blogs from CNN.com for a reference.
Sarah Palin has been ordered to pay back taxes on per diem that she charged Alaska while staying at home. She will also likely face tax issues for air fair and hotel rooms for her family that were paid for by the state.
Will Republicans rail on Governor Palin as a "tax cheat" as they did recently to democrats in similar situations? Currently search fox news for "palin taxes" yields zero results.
As I said in other threads my view is this is par for the course when it comes to peoples taxes. I promise that a sizable portion of the US population would owe back taxes if the IRS new everything about them.
