VALERIE JARRETT: Tax Avoider? “Well it’s just another Chicago insider deal that goes all the way up to the White House.”

UPDATE: Reader Randy Wilde emails: “And these are the people who want to tell us what a person’s ‘fair share’ is?” Yes.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Hey, look: White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett’s real-estate investment jumped in value between 2010 and 2011, documents show. “Senior White House adviser and long-time Obama confidant Valerie Jarrett’s role in a number of controversial Chicago housing developments has garnered her investments worth millions of dollars while highlighting the administration’s extensive business ties to presidential donors.” Good thing Obama’s standing up to those tax-avoiding fatcats!
