First it was Timothy Geithner when he was nominated for Treasury Secretary that we find out got away with tax evasion with just an apology. Now we find out that Tom Daschle, President Obama's nominee for HHS, didn't pay over $100,000 of taxes on the use of a car and driver. Of course this comes out on Friday afternoon, a typical tactic for burying news. Does any politician actually pay what they are supposed to pay in taxes? Would the mass media ignore these problems if it was a Republican? Would you and I get by so easily if we had made a mistake on our tax returns. The answer to all 3 questions is of course a resounding NO.
