The hypocrisy of Democrats never ceases to amaze me. The mantra “rules for thee but not for me” is very real indeed when it comes to Democrats, as they constantly make it clear that they see themselves as above the mandates that they expect the rest of us to follow.

One prime example of this comes with taxes. Democrats are always saying that the rich need to pay more taxes. However, these same wealthy Democrats often simultaneously cut corners to ensure that they pay less taxes themselves.

Now, yet another Democrat has been caught red-handed taking massive tax breaks that she does not qualify for. Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic Party’s U.S. Senate nominee in Maryland, who is considered a rising star on the left, managed to save thousands of dollars with these tax breaks that she had no legal qualification to take.

From Daily Wire:
CNN reported that for more than 10 years she claimed a homestead tax exemption on a home she owned in Washington, D.C. — and a home she owned in Maryland — that can only apply to a person’s primary residence, not multiple residences.

She also reportedly saved $14,000 in taxes over a 12 year period on her home in D.C. by “using tax exemptions meant for the district’s primary residents, lower income residents and senior citizens,” the report said. By “violating state and local tax relief requirements”, she reportedly cut her tax bill in half.

She received a homestead exemption on the property that she owned in Maryland starting in 2008, even though she eventually started renting it out. She is estimated to have saved thousands of dollars in taxes by claiming the homestead exemption, even though she did not qualify for it.

Alsobrooks Responds

An advisor to Alsobrooks has responded by alleging that she was “unaware” of the alleged violations.

Yeah, right…

Alsobrook’s campaign also attempted to attack her opponent, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R), by claiming that he got a tax break on his home as well during his time living in the governor’s mansion in 2016.

It didn’t take long for this to backfire; however, officials responded by pointing out to Alsobrook that governors and federal officials are excluded from these residency requirements.

Nice try, Angela, but that was a fail!

The Maryland Republican Party is calling for a full investigation into Alsobrook, as they believe that this report shows that she committed fraud. Here’s hoping that an investigation actually takes place, as this corrupt Democrat needs to be held accountable.

This kind of scandal has become unfortunately common in the Democratic Party.

There’s nothing that Democrats love more than drawing up new rules and regulations for the rest of us to follow. Meanwhile, they see themselves as being above these rules, and they cut corners to live their own lives however they please.

Clearly, Angela Alsobrook is just another sleazy Democrat lawmaker who has no business being anywhere near the U.S. Senate. In the end, the people of Maryland deserve better in a senator. Here’s hoping they remember that when casting their ballots in this election.

Key Takeaways:

• Maryland Democrat senatorial candidate caught taking tax breaks.
• This is another example of Democrat hypocrisy.
• Democrats want the rich to pay more taxes and then dodge higher taxes themselves.
