Where is the Outrage - More Crooks In Washington, Thanks Barack

Poor Barack is apparently having a problem finding Cabinet members who aren't felons. It's as bad as coaching in Dallas!

Tim Geitner has a tax problem which he calls a "stupid mistake."

Tom Daschle...the same Tom Daschle who was so outspoken about the honesty of George W. Bush...has a tax problem he calls a "stupid mistake."

Anyone buying that? Well...there's a lot of "stupid mistake" going around. Must be the water.

Obviously, Obama, Inc. (in an effort to dis-egg the noble, FDR-esque presidential visage) wants you to believe that anyone can make a mistake and their script says that "you too might have made a tax mistake in the past and wouldn't you like to be forgiven and given a new chance?" (This is when you shake your head up and down.)

Do not be deceived by this.

There is no connection between any IRS problem you might have had with either this scenario or these people. Take serious note of the fact that they are different and are treated very differently by the system. They are people who have been (at least) temporarily elevated to the Ruling Class and, like feudal lords, are "the elect" thus immune from the "slings and arrows" of the Bard's "outrageous fortunes."

Ask yourself if you can see either Tom or Tim shipping the kids off to the movies and then sitting at the old dining room table some Sunday afternoon early in April with a shoebox full of receipts and a copy of Turbo-Tax perking away in the family laptop.

In Daschle's case he has no excuse at all, being a Senator he gets his taxes done for free by the IRS if he wants to give them his financial details. There's even an IRS "Consulting Office" right in the Capitol. IRS prepared returns are automatically audit-proof but, regardless, it's not likely the IRS's guys'll make mistakes like these. (In case you didn't know it, Congressmen don't have to pay interest and penalties on their tax errors...but you do!)

Nope, these guys are guilty of the same kind of chicanery as that of which they so quickly accuse their political opponents only in their case, it's real and (worse for them) it's out there.

To paraphrase an old Indiana Jones movie, Barack has shown a tendency to not choose his friends wisely...if Tony Reszko and Bill Ayers are any testimony.
