Tax scandals of the rich and famous

Tom Daschle

Daschle had to withdraw his nomination for health and human services secretary once he was accused of failing to pay more than $128,000 in taxes. The back taxes involved unreported consulting fees, questionable charitable contributions, and failure to pay taxes on the use of a limousine and driver, according to a "confidential draft" report prepared by Senate Finance Committee staff.
