Yesterday, we learned that Claire McCaskill (D-MO) failed to pay over $280,000 on her private plane.
Today we find out the rest of the story. Claire McCaskill registered her plane in Delaware, where no taxes are imposed. Then she moved the plane to Illinois, where she avoided paying taxes before she moved it to Missouri, where she ignored paying her taxes.

McCaskill said today that the matter of taxes didn’t arise then, because the plane was new — purchased in July 2006. No taxes were owed until 2007, so the family was unaware of the personal property tax issue, she said.
McCaskill added that if the family had been trying to avoid paying taxes, it would have left the plane in a hangar in Illinois, since no property taxes on planes are levied there. McCaskill said that Missouri is among a minority of states that allow local governments to assess personal property taxes on planes kept in their jurisdiction. McCaskill’s plane, like many private planes, is registered in Delaware, where no taxes are imposed.

What is it with these clowns and taxes? They sure love imposing them of the rest of us, but good luck finding one that's paid theirs.

Her story is kind of hard to buy, considering she was State Auditor before the Senate gig...a position she misused to harass all the Republican office holders, and shield the Democrat ones, for her entire time in office.

Because of such problems, she added, "I have convinced my husband to sell the damned plane."
Yeah, the nerve of us peons wanting her to live by the rules that that bitch had a part in imposing. ::)
