IF THIS WERE TRULY A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE, we would have laws preventing those WE ELECT AND THAT WE PAY from SCREWING UP OUR TAX SYSTEM. There should be a law stating that if the candidate for office (appointed or otherwise) has back taxes due (remember Tim Geithner?) they cannot hold office until and for 2 year after they brought their taxes up to date: I.E. PAID IN FULL. I'm proud of our country and it's President Obama... but when Obama allowed him to waltz through WITHOUT PAYING ANY PENALTIES, I was truly disguisted. Below is a quote from the "Wall Street Journal"
In 2006, the IRS audited Mr. Geithner's 2003 and 2004 taxes and concluded he owed taxes and interest totaling $17,230, according to documents released by the Senate Finance Committee. The IRS waived the related penalties.
During the vetting of Mr. Geithner late last year, the Obama transition team discovered the nominee had failed to pay the same taxes for 2001 and 2002. "Upon learning of this error on Nov. 21, 2008, Mr. Geithner immediately submitted payment for tax that would have been due in those years, plus interest," a transition aide said. The sum totaled $25,970.
IS IT ME OR DID WE JUST LET A CROOK, CHEAT AND LIER into office?
