Some people get all bent out of shape when they are referred to as Accountants, as in this scene from a recent episode of the British TV show, Mad Dogs.
Warning: British TV censorship standards are very similar to what we have on HBO and Showtime in the USA. In other words, this clip does contain the F word.

36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes
Of course, the state controlled media will continue to ignore these tax cheats and instead spend a ton of time criticizing Newt and Mitt for using completely legal strategies to reduce their taxes.

As I constantly remind everyone, the demand for accountants will never disappear. And, with the unending growth in the size and scope of government, the need for people to handle all of the paperwork will only continue to grow.
This article confirms that.

2. Registered Nurse
3. Computer Systems Analyst
4. Social Worker

6. Sales Manager and Representative

This comes with the territory when you run for high office.
From Conan via NewsMax:
Mitt Romney released his tax records and they showed that he earned $42 million over the last two years. So now the other candidates aren’t running for president. They’re running to be Mitt Romney.

As promised, the Romney campaign has posted copies of several of their family’s income tax returns on their website to be downloaded or viewed online. As could be expected, all of the news sites are filled with “analyses” of the returns. Rather than rely on the slanted biases of political pundits, here are links to the actual returns.

One of the semi-benefits of the campaign season for the curious is the ability to peer into the private financial affairs of the top candidates, as they bow to the pressure to “voluntarily” disclose their income tax returns.
Newt has already posted copies of his 2010 tax returns on his website:
1040 for Newton & Callista Gingrich (46 page pdf)
990–PF for The Gingrich Foundation (21 page pdf)
According to the 1040 schedules, he also owns some other entities:
Gingrich Productions, Inc. – C corp that paid Callista $191,827 of W-2 wages during 2010.
Gingrich Holdings, Inc. – S corp that had a net K-1 profit of almost $2.5 million plus $252,500 of W-2 wages to Newt.
If Newt continues to do well in the race, I wouldn’t be surprised to see calls for him to reveal his corp tax returns as well.
Mitt Romney has promised to post his tax returns on Tuesday. I’ll post links to them as soon as possible.

I’m obviously biased, but it seems that when Hollyweird writers need an example of a soul-less person, they often use accountants, as in this clip from last night’s Fringe episode.
“Oh, she’s not dead. Though in a manner of speaking, she was.
A bookkeeper for an accounting firm. Can you imagine anything more lifeless?”
