Daschle Done

Tom Daschle is done as Health and Human Services secretary over unpaid taxes.

Daschle did not pay taxes on an extraordinary non-salary benefit provided by his employer (car and driver). It is exactly the same theory on which Sarah Palin did not pay taxes on an extraordinary benefit (free air travel for her children, and 60 dollar per day per diem payments for use of her own house).
