Treasury Secretary Appointment Over Looks Paying His Tax's  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 22/100. kennyrose (5047) 4 years ago

Other appointments by president-elects who was found gulity of not paying their personal tax's and /or employing illegal's did not get a past,most all democrats believe Baracks Obama's appointment for treasury secretary will have no problem.
In my opinion I would not give him a pass if I uncovered he has been dishonesty on his own personal tax reports,it would be like putting the fox in the hen house,what say you?



*Chicago Sun Times Story W/Link Below*

He failed to pay self-employment taxes for money he earned while working for IMF from 2001 to 2003, according to materials released by the Senate committee. In 2006, the IRS notified him that he owed $14,847 in self-employment taxes and $2,383 in interest from 2003 and 2004, which he paid after an audit. The IRS waived penalties for those tax years.

Transition officials discovered last fall that Geithner also had not paid the taxes in 2001 or 2002. He paid $25,970 in back taxes and interest for those years several days before Obama announced his choice, the committee documents showed.

Geithner and his supporters have said his mistake was a common one for people hired by international organizations that don’t pay the employer share of Social Security taxes. Geithner told Obama’s team and senators that an accountant had reviewed his tax returns after Geithner prepared them and didn’t discover the problem.

Sorry, Rose, but this IS a common mistake and an understandable one. The taxes are now paid and he won't make that mistake again so what's the big deal? Some years ago as I recall John McCain had forgotten to report some taxable income, I think it had something to do with the Keating 5 scandal. As I recall Republicans here didn't think it was at all relevant and I don't suppose it was.

Annie,
Any time some thing comes up you bring up John Mc Cain or Sarah Palin,first of all John McCain after an investigation was deemed of "using poor judgement" by attending a meeting that Keating invited him to when he realized what was really up he stood up and said I will not be back and walked out of the place never to return.
John McCain was the person that helped many of the people Keating stole money from get some of it back,please tell the real story and not the one that paints John McCain a bad person,or Sarah Palin.
This guy the discussion is about did not make a mistake and if that is what you prefer to call it he made the same dammed mistake 3-4 time's during the past 8 year's including hiring an illegal women as his house keeper,if you call this a mistake that is up too you,but the real story the dam guy is a liar and theft and he is appointed to over see the funds of the American tax payers,NICE!!!!
Seriously Annie I don't care what party any one belongs to
if they are caught with their pant's down lying and cheating people get them all to hell out of Washington D.C. Party my A** and unless the American people demand the same thing nothing will change because it can not,hell why should it.
During the campaign I heard a zillion time how people was hurting blab,blab,blab if people are actually hurting so dammed bad vote the wise way vote agianst corruption in Washington D.C.and vote against more corruption entering Washington D.C. as a voter that is not even hurting yet that is what I did for my country and my fellowman because it is the right thing to do as a voter.
This guy was vetted by the Obama team and this tax evasion alone should had been caught,I'm sure it was but the team and Obama hoped it would fly and the question remains has it,if so more corruption and thief's of the coffers that the American people fill to the brim.
Annie John McCain and the Keating case is not relevant because John McCain and another senator that attends Keating meeting was fully investigated and found innocent of an wrong doing,they was found gulity of using poor judgement by attending the meeting.
Annie this man paid his tax's but when after Obama tapped him then he paid thousands of dollar in back owed tax's he is a dammed liar and a crook in my opinion and unsafe for this appointment for the best of the United States and that would stand with me no matter what party he is tied to.
As long as the American voters are dedicated to a party no matter what nothing will ever change,I'm an independent and I voted dammed hard against all I deemed as crooks and corrupted and that is my actually duty as a caring American voter that really dose care about my country.

Dear God, Rose, I even SAID McCain had made an honest mistake! I meant it to illustrate that people make mistakes and the important thing is that they correct them and do not repeat them. I guess your opinion OR my opinion here doesn't matter since it appears enough members of both parties don't feel this is important enough to prevent him from being confirmed. By the way, he didn't hire an illegal, her paperwork had expired and he hadn't been aware of it.

I have two questions on this.

1) How did this not come out in the Obama vetting?

2) Why did the opposition not run with this when they first knew about it?

Seems like both sides want this guy no matter what and that poses a third question:

3)Why?

I'm still looking in to this character, so I won't comment too much other than to say, if this is an isolated "oversight", shytte happens. We'll see. I am hoping he isn't the shystering scheming totalitarian crook Paulson was. Now if we can just get rid of Paulson's partner in crime, Bernankie, we may be on the way to something.

That's how I'm looking at it so far. It wasn't his income taxes he didn't pay for the Social Security payroll tax so I can understand how he could have overlooked it since he'd likely had it deducted from his pay all his life.
