all I have to do is make a bunch of promises, not pay my taxes and point the finger of blame at everyone else and I can get a Presidential Cabinet Position? Where do I sign up?
I am referring of course to the latest of our DC Politicians to get caught with their financial pants down. Tom Daschle is the most recent in what is becoming a not so exclusive group of "they are the only one that can do the job" dirt bags in Washington that thinks the law does not apply them. Perhaps you remember the last guy. Tim Geithner? He's the one who was billed as the only one who can figure out the economic crisis and steer us through to safe waters. The trouble is, is that for four years he didn't pay his taxes on income he earned from a company he worked for that cut him a check, that he signed for, once a quarter so he wouldn't have to pay his taxes out of pocket. Now, he's the treasury secretary (That's the head of the IRS for us lay people who just can't seem to figure out that debt is bad).
So, Tom Daschle, who owed over 120 thousand dollars in back taxes, forgot to pay the medicare taxes for his personal driver. Any guess as to which post he was just nominated for? Health and Human Services. That's right, Medicare. Hey!!! I had a friend that got their truck repossessed, can I be the "Car Czar"? Both of these SOB's didn't have to pay a nickle in interest or penalties. So I challenge you to ask yourself, who does this happen to? I can answer that. Not Me. I am currently paying off back taxes that I am responsible for while I was a private appraiser working as a sub-contractor. I will freely admit I had no idea what I was doing and now I have to pay for it. And I am paying for it, but I'm getting slammed in interest and penalties to the tune of 150% of what was originally due. I have no problem with people making mistakes, but don't insult me and say that your mistakes are somehow not relevant to who you are. I know that I made a mistake and I changed jobs so that I wouldn't make that mistake again.
I am sick and tired of these self righteous pricks telling me that paying you taxes is patriotic and then turning around and not paying theirs while simultaneously raising mine. And as far as these moron's being the "only people for the job", there are over 300 million of us in this country, I don't buy it for one second that if Tim Geithner can't make it to work that this country will fail.
In fact I put the challenge out to America. One and done. I give you one chance to get it right and if you can't you move on. Oh, and if buy some miracle you do get it right you get one re-election and then your out. Because I don't want career politicians making "sweetheart deals" with lobbyists for gifts like, oh lets say a personal car and driver. Thanks Tom! No Mas.
