Donald Rumsfeld got his taxes filed in time. Just don’t ask him if they were done correctly.
In a letter sent Tuesday to the Internal Revenue Service, Rumsfeld said he has “absolutely no idea” whether his family’s tax returns and payments were filed accurately.
“This note is to alert you folks that I know that I do not know whether my tax returns are accurate,” Rumsfeld wrote, employing his signature locution.
The former secretary of defense under two presidents writes a letter to the IRS every year calling on the agency to reform the tax code. He posted a copy of this year’s letter on his Twitter account.
“I do hope that at some point in my lifetime, and I am now in my 80s, so there are not many years left, the U.S. government will simplify the U.S. tax code so that those citizens who sincerely want to pay what they should, are able to do it right, and know that they have done it right,” Rumsfeld wrote.

Of course Don Rumsfeld would have personal letterhead, and gosh, kinda dreary, cliché letterhead at that.
I’m guessing thousands of humans and animals were killed in the heavy rag’s manufacture without Don’s notice?
Poor Donny another right wing wealthy victim.
Henny penny taxes! Did I file them correctly? File under “known unknowns.”
If only rich people didn’t have to pay taxes he wouldn’t have this problem. And of course if anyone else sent a letter like this it would be an immediate flag for an audit.

That he knows that he doesn’t know?? Some smart guy he is.
