Herman Cain's campaign acknowledged that the GOP presidential hopeful failed to pay Georgia state income taxes in 2006 while he was undergoing intensive treatment for cancer.United Kingdom ugg boots Ultimately, this story is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. Especially when compared to some of the tax evasion issues we've seen from the likes of Tim Geithner, among others. Herman Cain failed to pay his 2006 Georgia state income taxes because he was undergoing treatment for an advanced stage of cancer at the time. His attorneys claim that an extension was filed with the state using the same documentation that was filed with the federal government for an extension that same year. That explanation would be in line with Georgia law, but apparently Georgia didn't acknowledge the extension request. Instead, Georgia began sending letters to Cain requesting payment for his income taxes, but no payment was forthcoming. In early 2008, Georgia filed a tax lien against Cain and his wife for just under $9,000. The lien was eventually lifted in December of 2008, presumably as a result of Cain paying the amount owed.cheap ugg boots clearance "The experience serves as an example of how broken our federal and state bureaucracies are with respect to the collection of revenue," Cain campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon told The Beast. "The entire process is driven by automated letters generated in response to deadlines."uugg boots outlet And while Cain opponents will be quick to jump all over this story as an example of hypocrisy, etc., anyone who's ever dealt with any level of government regarding revenue issues understands that the problem was - at least partially - the fault of the bureaucracy. The beauty of government at all levels is that no one within the bureaucracy is ultimately held accountable for anything. clearance uggSo if incorrect letters, liens or collection notices are mailed, it's likely that no one will do anything to stop it. Everyone's job is so compartmentalized within a bureaucracy that individuals are conditioned to focus exclusively on the one sliver of responsibility that their position requires. Unfortunately for tax payers, that sliver never includes critical thinking, problem-solving or customer service. Anyone who's ever tried to deal with their government regarding a revenue collection issue knows that. http://www.uggboots-outletsale.net>ugg boots outlet
