Hope springs eternal – after writing the IRS on #TaxDay for decades, I am still waiting for a response.

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld filed for an extension on his taxes last week, like millions of other Americans. Unlike most, he included a personal note to declare his disgust with the incredibly complex U.S. tax system.

Excerpt:

"I remain mystified as to whether our tax returns and tax payments estimates are accurate," he wrote in a letter that he also tweeted. "The possession of a college degree, retention of an experienced tax accounting firm and earnest application have failed to provide confidence that my returns and payments are properly completed."

Comment: His tweet. I echo his view

Obama still blaming Bush ... and lying!

Rumsfeld Cries Foul on Obama Claim Troop Requests for Afghanistan Were Denied

Obama:

"Commanders in Afghanistan repeatedly asked for support to deal with the reemergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive."

Rumsfeld:

"Such a bald misstatement, at least as it pertains to the period I served as secretary of defense, deserves a response," ... "I am not aware of a single request of that nature between 2001 and 2006."
