Democrats and taxes....

Just a few thoughts about President Obama's recent choices having to remove themselves from consideration due to "tax issues". If this was anybody else (like you or me), we would be under the IRS' hammer if we failed to file or accurately report our taxes, to include bank accounts seized, wages garnished and liens on property. What slays me is that these individuals, who obviously have further designs on future employment with a democratically controlled White House and knowing that they would be scrutinized by the Senate (especially after what happened to Joe the Plumber), all of a sudden have an epiphany and realize that they didn't pay their taxes???

Are they that stupid? Do they just sign their returned mindlessly, thinking that TurboTax/their accountant did his/her job? And some in power feel that they are "qualified" to be advisers to the President and his Cabinet??? I wouldn't trust any of them with my checkbook, and they were going to provide oversight on "government performance" or healthcare reform.

Memo to Obama and his "advisers"... maybe you need to vet your people by looking at their taxes first before asking them if they would like a job working for President Hopeychangey...
