Looks like I’m not the only one who owes the IRS money… so does our esteemed governor.
Tax returns reviewed by the newspaper for the past four years show Perdue got a refund in 2002 and 2003, but owed $95,000 in state and federal taxes in 2004 and $138,000 in 2005. Perdue’s net worth is more than $6 million, according to the financial disclosure report he filed Monday. … Before becoming governor in 2003, he incurred penalties for seven consecutive years for underpaying federal taxes and penalties for underpaying state taxes for six of the previous seven years.
I don’t feel quite so bad now, since I only owe in the triple digits, and I’m not an elected official.

To put things in perspective, $138,000 is 2.3% of $6,000,000.
I have no idea how much you make, but $884 is 2.3% of $38,434.78.
If you make more than that, you’re in better shape than Super Vet. If you make less, then Perduski is in better financial shape.
Actually, I’ll just go ahead and say that Perdue is probably in better financial shape than you.
my question is, why the fuck isn’t he in jail? Isn’t this tax evasion? Even though he is the governor? In fact, that should make it worse!
Congrats Tony, you win first place for Obvious Statement of the Day.
Jeezy Creezy, how does the frickin’ governor not do his taxes correctly? If he can’t do that on his own, how is he expected to create a proper budget for the state?
