WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Rumsfeld has a new addition to his list of known unknowns - the accuracy of his 2013 tax filing.


Rumsfeld, who was U.S. defense secretary under President George W. Bush, posted a picture on Twitter of the letter he sent to the Internal Revenue Service, saying he had submitted his tax return by Tuesday's deadline but that he had "absolutely no idea whether our tax returns and tax payments are accurate."

That was despite his being a college graduate and having paid an accounting firm to prepare his return, he said.

Rumsfeld had a key role in the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and in the buildup to that war assessed intelligence on Baghdad's supply of weapons of mass destruction by creating three categories - known knowns, unknown unknowns and known unknowns.

Rumsfeld's tax records fall into the third category - something he knows he doesn't know about - and in his letter he blamed the U.S. tax code.

"The tax code is so complex and the forms so complicated that I know that I cannot have any confidence that I know what is being requested and therefore I cannot and do not know, and I suspect a great many Americans cannot know, whether or not their tax returns are accurate," he wrote.

"I do hope that at some point in my lifetime, and I am now in my 80s, so there are not many years left, the U.S. government will simplify the U.S. tax code so that those citizens who sincerely want to pay what they should, are able to do it right and know that they have done it right."

Rumsfeld pointed out that his wife, another college graduate, also has no idea if the tax payments were correct

I don't "get" what you trying to say. Is anyone especially a high profile GOP person absolutely sure that their taxes are right? I'm not and I do use H&R Block. What this has to do with 2003 and Iraq is a real stretch. Want to hold Jimmy Carter (1978) with what Jimmy Carter (2012) said?

Anyway, your timing is interesting since we now have emails from the IRS and the Justice Department talking about charging Tea Party people with crimes using the tax code. This was at the behest of certain high ranking democrat politicians. So your timing is real suspect comrade.

Which college did he graduate from, and what was his major...accounting?
It makes a huge difference, even a guy from Cougar High (attendance and payment is all that is required to graduate, I've heard) should be able to handle the short form.
For complex taxes, hire a CPA and try to keep up. You gotta trust someone in this fucked up world we live in, and it is defenseable to rely on a professional.

I guess I did misspell that - I don't use spell check!
I wish he hadn't invaded Iraq, but if he got Hillary to vote for it, it must have made sense because she still hasn't admitted she was wrong.

You're really not very smart, are you? You can dish it out all day everyday but the second someone posts something that cast those fucking war criminals you idolize in a less than favorable light, you get your knickers in a twist.

News flash. You reveal your ignorance with every post.
