The newest non-paying tax cheat to be nominated is Capricia Penavic Marshall, nominee for chief of protocol at State (an ambassadorial position). Here's something disconcerting...she was owed a refund of $37,259. If you were getting a refund of that amount, wouldn't you be aware of it? Do we really want a government official that not only doesn't file her taxes, but isn't even aware she's due that amount of money? She had a bunch of lame excuses; it was her accountant's fault, her lawyer's fault, her husband's fault.
The pro- high tax Obama (D) has so far nominated:
Tax cheat Tim Geitner- failed to pay $34,000 in taxes from 2001 to 2004, and as Sec of Treasury, runs the IRS!
Tom Daschle was nominated Health and Human Services secretary- but decided to withdraw after it was revealed he failed to pay more than $120,000 in taxes. When he was a Senator he was a big time taxer, but apparently thought the law only applied to him a little bit.
Nancy Killefer was nominated to be “chief performance officer”. What is that? She didn't pay for a year and a half employment taxes on household help. How many have been caught doing that? Think any lessons were being learned there?
Apparently not there, or with Obama's vetting team. Can I do the liberal thing here, and call them hypocrites? Saying and doing opposite things. A Republican has an a affair twenty years ago; it's discovered and he's forced to resign his office, and is called a hypocrite. (I'll address the John Ensign issue in a later blog.) So you think a pro-high tax Dem that doesn't pay taxes can be call a hypocrite?
Nawwww, it was just a little mistake, a small oversight, everybody does it.
