Daschle Goes, Geithner Stays?
Posted by: Hypocrisy, Thy Name is D ()

You Big D democrats out there should be calling for Obama to ask Geithner to step down. His crimes are worse than Daschle's and he committed tax evasion with full knowledge and made a profit from it. He can't even plead ignorance - he committed his crimes with his eyes wide open. How can he be in charge of the IRS? How can the Democrats condone his behavior while railing against 'greedy' CEOs?

From National Review:

Daschle’s negligence was gross, particularly for a party and an administration that have celebrated prostration before the taxman as a “patriotic duty.” But Daschle’s offenses, galling as they may be, are exceeded by those of Geithner. Indeed, of all the tax transgressions touching Obama’s circle, Geithner’s are the worst.

Not only did Geithner neglect to pay his taxes, he turned a buck by doing so—accepting payments from his employer for the very purpose of offsetting those taxes. When he took the money, he signed a statement promising to pay the taxes and then ignored his obligations—for years. Protected by a statute of limitations, he did not pay his 2001–02 taxes until his nomination made them a public issue.

If Daschle’s tax problems should bar him from managing the federal health-services bureaucracy and Killefer’s preclude her from scrutinizing the budget, how is it that Geithner’s transgressions—the worst of the lot—are insufficient to disqualify him from managing the same Internal Revenue Service whose attentions he evaded?

We must not have a two-tiered tax code. Obama should make a clean sweep of it and dismiss Geithner. He’ll land on his feet, perhaps securing a gig at Tom Daschle’s private-equity fund, where the perks are so enviable. If he does so, we recommend taking a hard look at his 1040 next year.

Go Figure!

I guess if you're going to appoint someone to be in charge of IRS, it helps to have someone who knows how to work their way around the system.

I'm surprised Repulicans are bitching. Seems to me the more Republicans bitch, the more the IRS and newspapers will step up and start auditing their taxes. The last people who want to be audited and their finances revealed are Republicans on the hill.

I knew it wouldn't be long before we got the 'everybody does it' defense. It's laughable, really. Are you suggesting that a D administration would use the IRS for political payback? Really? Oh yeah, I forgot that the Clinton's audited their enemies all the time.

The IRS won't be able to audit anyone, as all the auditee has to say is, if tax cheating is good enough for Geithner, it's good enough for me. The IRS will be defanged as long as he heads it.

Boy, Palin sure scares the heck out of you guys. I guess it's because she's smarter than Nancy Pelosi ('500 Million jobs are lost every day') and a lot better looking than Hillary, and certainly more experienced than 0.

Ummm, Sarah Palin never paid taxes on the extra income she got from the state of Alaska for her family's travel expenses, which included $25K for staying at home. Pot meet kettle.

If your mind was wondering I'll summarize it. Daschle made a mistake, he corrected, he paid the penalties.

Daschle's problem highlights that ALL elected officials should be audited closely and their taxes made public. That includes Republicans!

I await your third grader temper tantrum spin.

We need to quit this bickering and move on to solutions. According to leader of the demokratic House Nancy Pelosi, we are losing 500 million jobs per month of inaction. 500 MILLION. There are only about 306 million people in the US, which probably means about 160 million workers when you take out kids and retired people.

People you need to wake up. At this rate as revealed by Nancy Pelsoi, we are losing about sixteen million jobs EVERY DAY that we do not act. At this rate, EVERYONE in AMERICA will be unemployed by Feb 14! VALENTINES DAY!!! Can't you people stop fighting for one minute so we can get solutions in place? 100% UNEMPLOYMENT BY VALENTINE'S DAY YOU DUMMIES!!!!! QUIT BICKERING AND ACT!!!

Qualification to be Democrat Speaker of the House: Dumb as a post.

Nancy Pelosi at a news conference this week: "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."

Obviously a result of too many face lifts and botox treatments.

We're still getting fucked, it's just a matter of preferred position at this point. Hopefully, Obama will at least cuddle with us afterwards.

If you had a clue, you'd know that Sarah Palin never said that. It was said by Tina Fey, the so-called entertainer, and the gullible public attributed the quote to Palin.

No. She just said you can see Russia from parts of Alaska.

She had never been to.

nonpayment of taxes is not okay. But if it was such a huge issue to you, why weren't you calling for Sarah Palin to pay her back-taxes during the campaign?

You need to learn how to read, chief. I already said earlier in the thread that as long as it serves to piss off people like you, then yes, I approve. I don't care what stupid shit happens to the Obama administration, as long as it infuriates you people. I didn't vote for change- I voted so that you people would be cast aside like dogshit.

When it's you who is unemployed...it's 100%. We who live in the bubble of the Washington DC bubble had better be able to at least show a little sympathy. As far as the spending bill goes...at least it's money spent in this country rather then Iraq...Korea...Europe...Japan to help prop up the crumbling US empire.
