I got news for all of you.. 98% of Americans would be labeled as a tax cheap if the were vetted...

If Obama was aware of this fact then do you mean that he wants to hire such cheats? Obama drama is on and the whole world is watching. What a clown?

Couldn't Geitner just lose some records her and some records there?
He is head of the IRS now.

Love our new POTUS, but it would be nice if the administration could improve their vetting process!

I guess only us "little people pay taxes". This is outrageous. How many more of these thieves are in the closet – boy Obama sure knows how to pick em.

Are there any democrats that Obama wants in this administration that ACTUALLY pay taxes???

This would be the ideal job for a Republican! Seems they now know all about how to run the government correctly. Too bad they didn't know how when they were in charge.

I think all of our politicians should go through a thorough audit. I think their would be quite a few sweating out the results of those audits!!! Our current tax system stinks. Let's go to a flat tax now.

Romney2012,
I did not support Obama but he is the president now. Don't stoop to democratic tactics but wishing impeachment. Unfortunately we the people put an inexperience empty suit with criminals as friends in office and now we have to deal with it. Let's hope the good politicians can keep our country moving forward.

Besides, do you know how difficult it is to fire a minority?

Dear BO:

Don't you think it would be a good idea to eliminate these people up front when you find out that they didn't pay their taxes rather than waiting until they've gone through the process of getting nominated and then having to withdraw their name???

Or, STOP NOMINATING THESE TAX CHEATS!!!

BO – change you can believe in.....yeah right. You're just like all the other politicans in DC.

do you guys know we are talking about $979 dollars??????

regarding her NANNY?????

ARE WE 'THIS' PURITANICAL NOW?????

THE OPPOSITION RESEARCHERS ARE DOIN A GREAT JOB!

Maybe the next person selected have the IRS complete an audit on the person before the nest person is in front of the camera by the President.

Obama get your act together. Stop nominating tax dodgers to your cabinet. Why would you reward such behavior?

I fully supported and voted for President Obama and am, at present, disgusted to see that he is filling his cabinet and top level positions with the same kind of people that been destroying our country for years. Not a lot of Americans feel any great deal of sympathy for anyone at this point, let alone those who can afford to have "household staff" and then fail to properly report.

Now we can all see transparancy in government for what it truly is. The Dems believe that high taxes are fine as long as they don't pay them!!! How can BO be comfortable with a tax cheat?? He must be surrounded by them.

Oh perhaps it's for the best. Obama is just going to start asking All these nominees, hey have you paid your taxes?? All of them?

of course they knew.. but why would it matter.. these are Gods.. I mean Democrats..

Is there no one in Washington that is truly honest?

Well of course they were. Apparently if you're a Democrat, taxes are optional. That's why they never had any problems with "Tax the wealthy, they should pay more.", they wouldn't have paid the taxes anyways.

So when exactly is this change I was supposed to believe in gonna be taking place?

Isn't it ironic that the activity all you lib kooks have (falsely) accused Bush and the Republicans of doing is the very same thing that the Obama cabinet (both accepted and withdrawn) is in fact doing?

BUSINESS AS USUAL

OBAMA IS A FRAUD

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

That saying couldn't be more fitting.

OBAMA IS A FRAUD.

I saw this coming a million miles away. Thats why i voted libertarian... HEY AMERICA--WAKE UP, WE GOT BURNED.

As Obama liked to say during the election, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." A whole lot of Democratic pig and pork coming to light lately - with or without lipstick!

dagnabit Mr. Prez please find somebody who has paid their taxes. this is starting to distract people from the real issues.

then why the heck did you nominate her?

what is up with this "new era of responsibility"?

OBAMA IS BUSINESS AS USUAL. YOU GOT DUPED.

I could see the writing on the wall, i voted libertarian.

OBAMA IS A FRAUD.

ANOTHER.....YES ANOTHER...criminal supported by Obama! Selected by Obama to join his band of cronies....

What's really going to be rewarding is when, through the threat of jail time, Gov Blag rolls over on Emmanuel and Obama.....I smell impeachment coming! Please God make it so; rid us of this shameful excuse of a man that weaseled into office through vast corruption....forgive the people that support him; they know not what they do! They're idiots!

Will Rogers once said "Things will get better, despite our efforts to improve them".
With that said, why doesn't everyone just grin and bear it and wait for things to improve. Obviously it will take time, but to saddle future generations with all this debt, which will affect the old and the young, is simply wrong. If we must do something though, then make it a compromise of both Republican and Democrat requests and cut the pork out of it. Let both parties agree on a 50/50 proposal so whether it succeeds or fails, they both share responsibility together and can't blame the other for whatever happens.

I'm glad Obama was comfortable with her tax issues.

Or are they all crooks?

Ya' know, really, folks, a couple of points here:

First, "let he who is without sin....."– Sadly, even among the wealthiest folks, the willful failure to withhold and pay payroll taxes for household employees is MUCH more the rule than the exception, even among persons who othewise would never dream of stealing or violating any other law. I have NO doubt that many of the critics on the right who are salivating at the chance to knock Obama down over these appointees are JUST AS BAD in their own tax-reporting habits.

Second, what kind of stupidity afflicts these public figures, who think that non-compliance with tax laws will not become an obstacle to their opportunities for leadership positions???? Since Zoe Baird in 1993, it has been well known this would be a problem. Crissakes! Pay those taxes, morons!

I think I get it now – it's not the fact that tax evasion is illegal, it's the amount of tax evasion!! It's all so much clearer now, thank you!
