Buffer Zone Hypocrisy

Tax Evasion or Just Chicago Style Reciprocity? If so, with whom?

As Obama spends millions of taxpayer dollars on what he calls an official business and touts his current “Made in USA theme on a Midwestern bus tour comes news that his “purchase” of a “buffer” zone around his ritzy Chicago-area mansion from convicted felon Tony Rezco involved tax fraud. Tax evasion should not be considered a game.

The “buffer zone” parcel Obama’s mansion in Chicago’s upscale Kenwood neighborhood purchased by the wife of convicted felon Tony Rezko was transferred to Barack and Michelle Obama without ever being assessed or taxed, in apparent violation of Illinois law, according to a debt-collection expert.

“The Cook County assessor’s office says that there is no record of any tax assessment having been done on this transfer of the buffer zone property into a Northern Trust Co. Deed in Trust.”

A debt collection and skip tracing company based in Birmingham, Ala., noted the buffer zone “does not have an address attached to it, which is probably how the assessment and tax were avoided.

To add insult Obama is riding around in a “blacked-out” luxury $1.1 milion bus wearing a Made in Canada tag — also at taxpayer costs. It should also be noted that Obama is only stopping in  county’s with half the rate of national unemployment.

Tax evasion or just Chicago style reciprocity?

If so, what kind of reciprocity and with whom?
