February 01, 2009DeMint: Daschle's Tax Problem "May Be" Disqualifying
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) appeared on ABC's "This Week" to discuss the stimulus and HHS nominee Tom Daschle's tax problems.
"I want to find out more about it. But it's disheartening, obviously. I mean people are struggling to pay taxes on a very small amount of income," DeMint said.
"I can see now why liberals don't mind if the tax rate goes up because they're not going to pay it anyway. So, yeah it frustrates me. It did with our treasury nominee. But we need to look at it and I wish they would just say, 'hey, our tax code is just incomprehensible. We need to change it.'"
