Those all-American good looks don't come cheap.
Now
this is how you effectively troll Scott Brown.
A Democratic group is asking the IRS to investigate New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown for deducting thousands of dollars of makeup and grooming expenses on his taxes.
“Grooming expenses, including haircuts and nail maintenance, are inherently personal expenses, and repeatedly have been determined to be non-deductible,” Brad Woodhouse, a Democratic operative and treasurer of the American Democracy Legal Fund, wrote in a letter to IRS commissioner John Koskinen dated Wednesday.
Brown’s 2010 and 2011 tax returns are not currently public, but he made them briefly available to reporters while during [sic] his unsuccessful Senate re-election campaign in Massachusetts against Democrat Elizabeth Warren in 2012. According to news reports at the time, Brown claimed deductions of $2,149 and $1,401 for “TV makeup and grooming” while promoting his memoirs.
Is it penny-ante stuff? Definitely. Does it make the point to New Hampshire voters that Scott Brown is spending thousands of dollars on makeup and grooming? Most definitely. Not only is he spending more to look pretty than any of the women I know, he's trying to get taxpayers to pick up the tab for it. That's some expert grifting.
