More evidence of Marco Rubio's history of sleazy financial management

Marco Rubio had to pay back taxes for nanny, March 12, 2016

“Marco has employed a full-time household employee since 2010 and paid all applicable taxes annually as reflected in his tax returns. She is, and has been, a permanent legal resident during the entire time of her employment with the Rubio family,” Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said.

“From 2006 to 2009, she worked for the Rubios as a contractor, meaning she also worked for other families. In 2012, without inquiry or prompting, Marco decided to reclassify her employment for the years 2006 to 2009 as a full-time household employee, and he paid the applicable taxes.”

It’s not clear from the statement why Rubio waited until 2012 to address the situation, why he reclassified the nanny or how much he paid in applicable taxes.

Conant said it "wasn't an issue" in 2010 and would not respond to other questions dismissing, them as a "fishing expedition."

Conant said he would not answer additional questions because the Times did not reveal the names of the sources. He said he would not refer the questions to people on the campaign who worked for Rubio in 2010. The Times initially (on March 3) asked another Rubio spokesman, Alex Burgos, who worked on the 2010 campaign. Burgos did not provide answers.

Rubio has released partial tax returns dating back to 2000.

This ambitious little fast-talker will be out of a viable presidential campaign in Florida on Tuesday, and he will be out of the U. S. Senate in December.

Florida is a hill to die on for the Jeb Bush-Marco Rubio Establishment clones.

Glory be.
