taxes is the $70,000 that Minnesota Democratic senatorial candidate Al Franken has admitted to owing in back taxes, interest, and penalties. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;EMFK: We're stunned. Imagine that---a Democrat who is a tax cheat. Where have we heard this before? Do you want someone representating you that doesn't even keep up with his taxes? Stupid move, Al. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240769785153192060-762495936478927774?l=excusemeforkickin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://excusemeforkickin.blogspot.com/feeds/762495936478927774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://excusemeforkickin.blogspot.com/2009/02/al-franken-another-tax-cheat-surprise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240769785153192060/posts/default/762495936478927774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240769785153192060/posts/default/762495936478927774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://excusemeforkickin.blogspot.com/2009/02/al-franken-another-tax-cheat-surprise.html' title='Al Franken - Another Tax Cheat!
