McCain's Tax Returns Hide Gambling
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martha-miller/mccains-tax-returns-hide_b_131675.html

Senator John McCain is a gambler. If I'd known that right away I would have immediately seen what was wrong with his tax returns.

I am a tax attorney, so a tax return means more to me than it would to most. I reviewed McCain's tax returns as a basic check on the candidates. You can look at McCain's 2006 and 2007 tax returns for yourself. The tax returns are below a lot of verbiage about his charitable activities.

According to a New York Times article of September 27, 2008 "For McCain and Team, a Host of Ties to Gambling," reported by Jo Becker and Don VanNatta Jr., McCain gambled at the MGM Grand in May 2007.

2. I need to hire a good accountant.
Any good questions that I could use to interview with? And as far as McCain and other wealthy people. Bush has said that they should not have to pay taxes anyways because they know how to hide their money, or something along those lines.

3. He wants to be POTUS but can't pay his income or property taxes.
