Stephen Moore, President Donald Trump’s embattled likely nominee for the Federal Reserve, owes more than $75,000 to the IRS due to unpaid taxes from 2014.
According to a Wednesday Bloomberg report, Moore’s wife, Anne Carey, said that the debt stems from a mistaken deduction Moore took for alimony and child care to his former wife, when only alimony is deductible.
The IRS reportedly rejected the deduction and added penalties and interest.
Moore has come under fire recently for what economists see as a baffling lack of qualifications for the job in a clear move by Trump to get a political ally on the board. Moore promised this week that he would not be a “sycophant” for Trump should he get confirmed.
Let’s let the dude who cheats on his taxes run the economy, what could possibly go wrong?
It’s not like he’s going to be dealing with numbers or anything.
Jesus fucking Christ on a motherfucking pogo stick.
He owes $75,000 for a mistaken “child care” deduction!
Where the hell is this child care facility? In a penthouse overlooking Central Park?
This is coming out even before he’s gotten to the hearings.It just boggles the mind how so many of these grifting sc*mbags think that they can get their chance in the public limelight without having to endure the scrutiny that comes with it.
And this is why the mission of the Internal Revenue Service must focus on tax crimes committed by those with an annual income of less than $25,000.00
