Memo To IRS: I Admit It. I Have A Ron Kirk Problem.

|

I don’t know if I should just turn myself in or wait for feds to show up on my doorstep. The major part of Ron Kirk’s problem is the $37,750 in honoraria he signed over to charity — not reporting it as income and deducting it. I’ve been doing the same thing for 20 years. Every time I received a check for speaking I’ve just endorsed it on the back and either given it back (if it came from a non-profit) or sent it to a charity. That apparently makes me a scofflaw. Hey, Steve Forbes, how’s that flat tax?
