President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, failed to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself for four years and employed a housekeeper whose immigration documentation lapsed while in his employ. - FOX NewsSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters after the revelations that he still believes Geithner is "extremely well-qualified" for the post. - FOX News
Are you serious? The person that they want to head the Treasury failed to pay taxes yet he is still qualified for the position. I guess with that way of thinking a sex offender is still extremely qualified to run a day care as well.
How come it is a common mistake and lets look away when some high powered politician makes a mistake, but if I mistakenly don't pay a portion of my taxes, then holy crap here they come with the legal team. This guy is in charge of handling the economics of the country and he can't even handle his own income.
