Melissa Gilbert wants you to cheat on your taxes, too!

Is dog pampering tax delinquent  Melissa Gilbert starting to feel self-conscious about the $472,000 she owes in back taxes?  Gilbert’s campaign recently said on Facebook that tickets to an upcoming campaign fundraiser “are, in fact, a tax deductible political donation.”  (Political donations are not tax deductible.)

Is this a new strategy by tax cheat Melissa Gilbert – to firm up support by turning the people of MI-08 into Gilbert’s fellow tax cheats?

NRCC Comment: “Melissa Gilbert’s new campaign strategy is apparently tricking voters into lying on their tax forms by falsely telling them they can write off donations to Gilbert’s campaign.  Fortunately, FEC contribution limits will prevent Melissa Gilbert’s donors from ever becoming as big of a tax cheat as Gilbert herself.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
