NRO features this sharp editorial on the problem (to many Democrats in Washington, very minor) that Tom Daschle evaded paying a fairly large chunk of taxes.
This is delicious. A former senator wanted to keep more money to spend as he pleases, but his former colleagues wag fingers at him because they wanted to blow that money instead.
The far bigger problem here is that it’s possible for people like Daschle to earn millions as an influence peddler on the Potomac. It doesn’t matter which party is in control: the federal government has far too much power to enrich companies and non-profit organizations that have the right connections.
