Obama's cabinet woes

What is this? All of a sudden all these tax problems come out of the woodwork? We pay taxes to pay the interest on the debt owed to the private bankers for the money they created out of thin air. So is all this sudden flurry of tax problems messages from the bankers that Obama needs to pick other people? Is this how they are playing ball? While Les Blough is right that other Americans would be in jail, this also illustrates the level of corruption taken for granted in Washington DC. Obviously people in power don't worry about the same things we mortals do, because they tend to be exceedingly sloppy in their tax preparation activities, among other things. It's almost as if they just don't care. And yet, when it's time to play politics, all the little mistakes -- which have been overlooked for years -- come out like magic. - Ed.

Editor's Comment: This BBC news report is about Obama's appointment of Tom Daschle, former US Senate Majority Leader, to Secretary of Health who, turns out, cheated on his tax returns to the tune of $130,000- that's USD130,000. Any other US citizen who cheated the IRS like this would go to jail. As Jimmy Cliff wrote and sang, "The harder they come, the harder they fall". The list of Obama appointment crooks goes on - Nancy Killefer, Obama's appointment to oversee budget and spending reform, cheated on her taxes; Timothy Geither, another Obama appointment, cheated on his taxes; Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico and another Obama appointment (Commerce Secretary) - sold his soul for state contracts to campaign donors, etc. But Daschle, Killefer, Geither and Richardson are the least of Obama's cabinet and office appointment problems.
