Income Taxes and Short Memories

2008 Campaign Baloney

Charley Rangel "forgot" about the income on his off-shore rental properties and thus forgot to report the income to the IRS.  Tim Geithner also "forgot" about some income and failed to pay $34,000 in income taxes and was exempted by the IRS for penalties and interest.  Tom Daschle "suddenly remembered" that he had not reported income nor pay taxes amounting to $134,000 to the IRS and was also exempted from penalties and interest by the IRS.  I seriously doubt that Mr. Rangel will have to pay any penalties or interest for his short-term yet convenient memory loss about his off-shore properties either.  And apparently several other appointments by Obama have had second thoughts about the accuracy of the 1040 Forms and have elected to stay out of the limelight and away from the Senate Sub-Committee to answer confirmation questions about their taxes, nannies, and grounds-keepers.

Gee Whiz and Golly - these BOZOS are supposed to be the great thinkers in our wonderful society and one is even in charge of the Treasury.  I hope someone has an extra key for Geithner in the event he can't find the key to his office to oversee trillions of dollars.  I wonder if this is the "Change" that we can believe in.  And the answer is "So far so good!"

It appears that the late Leona Helmsley (widow of the hotel magnate) was very correct when she said, "Only little people pay taxes!"
