Treasury Secretary Nominee Failed to Pay $34,000 in Taxes

AP: Revelations about Timothy Geithner's tax problems derailed Senate Democrats' plans Wednesday to speed him to confirmation as treasury secretary, but senators in both parties said the disclosures were unlikely to torpedo his chances to take a key post on President-elect Barack Obama's economic team.

This is nothing new….only us jerks pay taxes….this azz hole didn’t make an honest mistake…you have to be honest to make an honest mistake….want to make some money?…the IRS will pay you 20% if you turn in somebody who doesn’t pay taxes…I know a Law director of a near by city who never paid taxes for over 30 years…this is probably true in most cities….do some investigating and make some money.
Torpedo his chances….nothing Democrats do will torpedo their chances…they have no principles so nothing is expected of them. So if you vote Democratic you have no right to complain. Just grease up your dumb azz and bend over…you mind numb robot.

“Legalized corruption is widespread and that’s the job of 35,000 Washington, D.C., lobbyists earning millions upon millions of dollars. They represent America’s big and small corporations, big and small labor unions and even foreign corporations and unions. They are not spending billions of dollars in political contributions to encourage and assist the White House and Congress to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. They are spending that money in the expectations of favors that will be bestowed upon them at the expense of some other American or group of Americans. … The only way to reduce corruption and money in Washington is to reduce the power politicians have over our lives.” –George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams
