IRS files tax lien against Gov. Schwarzenegger
Los Angeles Times
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The Internal Revenue Service has filed a federal tax lien against California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for nearly $80,000, public records show.
The lien was filed May 11 at the Los Angeles County recorders office for $79,064, according to a record in an electronic database that includes lien filings.
The lien is attached to all of the governors properties, according to the IRS.
The lien was reported today by TMZ.com, which posted a copy of a lien document that says it is from the county recorders office. That document shows that Schwarzenegger owes $39,047.20 from 2004 and $40,016.80 from 2005. The document also lists a section of the IRS code that suggests the debt may be penalties for a failure to report certain business transactions.
Schwarzeneggers spokesman, Aaron McLear, said in a statement that the governor has paid his taxes in full and on time.
No one, including the IRS, has notified the governor of any issues whatsoever with his taxes, McLear said. We are contacting the IRS to determine if the document in question, which appears to be a penalty for missing info and not for unpaid taxes, is legitimate and if there is any discrepancy to resolve.

I just read the article which stated the IRS has put a lien against the govenor of California's personal property for not paying all of his 2004 and 2005 taxes. That sounds like Arnold! He can't balance his own personal budget...but we expect him to balance the budget of the state of California which is considered the 5th largest gross domestic product in the WORLD...go figure. Not to mention a wife who gets caught violating the law every other day and gets away with it. Too bad we can't get away with the things politicians and their families get away with too!
