Here in Texas, we get alot of politicians who get "outed" for not paying social security or employer taxes to maids/gardeners etc. They also get outed for the fact that the maids/gardners are illegal aliens. WOOPS!
In my opinion, if you are going to run for public office, you damn well better have your house in order before you are vetted. I am amazed sometimes at the excuses that come from people who claim ignorance! As far as knowing tax policy - As someone said above - these people hire CPA's to do their taxes, and I doubt very seriously that they are using newbies straight out of business school at HR Block.

That's how I see it too. Sometimes I understand things seeming like they might be in a gray area, but these folks are in a position to seek professional advice.
And I'll admit it, if you're a politician who basically supports bigger government and more spending, I fully expect you to pony up everything you possibly could it support of the programs you are compelling other Americans to pay for. No loopholes for you.
