Not only is Stephen Moore nothing more than a wingnut welfare recipient and cable news celebrity,he’s also a tax cheat:
Stephen Moore, the conservative economist who President Trump intends to nominate for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, owes the U.S. government more than $75,000 in unpaid taxes, Bloomberg reports.
Details: According to a January 2018 court filing by the federal government, Moore reportedly has not paid $75,328 in taxes incurred in 2014. Moore told the Guardian in a statement that he was “eager to reach an agreement” with authorities, but has been frustrated by the bureaucratic process. “For several years I have been working through a dispute with the IRS, attempting to be returned what my attorneys and accountant believe were tax overpayments of tens of thousands of dollars,” Moore said.
This makes no sense. But that’s par for the course for Moore, who has demonstrated over and over again that he actually knows little about economics.
