Al Franken Wins – Add Another Clown to the 3-Ringed Circus; Congress
This is the person who will be representing Minnesota. Great job Minnesotans we can really take your state seriously!
He’ll fit right in with the rest of the circus; elephants, asses, weenies, trapeze artists & clowns…
And in case you were wondering – he hasn’t paid taxes either:
Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states.
Franken blamed everything on his accountant of 18 years, saying he failed to report the income from the comedian’s celebrity appearances and speeches in those states where he made money outside of Minnesota and New York, where he lives. Franken claimed he overpaid taxes in those two states and will file for refunds.
But the accountant, Allen Chanzis, has not verified Franken’s account. In fact, he has said he was told not to talk to the press. Nor has Franken released any documentation to show that he overpaid taxes in two states.
