The Obama Stimulus

....is (apperantly) Don't Pay your Taxes! Geitner, Kennedy, Richardson, now Daschle! Perhaps this is a cheap shot but seriously.... Anyone in the cabinet pay their taxes? Hands please... yes theres one, two, good job Hilary, three.... Is the American taxpayer really going to buy this trillion dollar package of actual taxpayers money headed by people trying to cheat on their taxes? I'm sorry- if anyone out there common person is audited they don't get to say 'I'm sorry' and all is forgiven. It doesnt work that way. Yet here is the rally wacky part; say one of them had a steamy affair with a call girl (ala Elliot Spitzer) then that person is immediatly told to resign and disspear lest they be a stain on the government. WHAT? That has absolutely nothing to do with his public work- nor does it show a penchant for stealing (which is what not paying your taxes is) yet these people get off with not even a slap on the wrist. I have a serious problem with that. Mr. President you pledged to us a campaign of change and decency and honesty. Have some backbone and stand up for what you promised (at least the principles) The errors of both Geitner and Daschle were so blatant, so obvious no one could have 'mistakenly' not paid those bits of tax. They should be gone. Now. They are not the 'best' choice anymore, that ended when they tried to cheat the same people they now control their money. Change? Currently its change for the worse.

In an ironic twist this was released today:
"WASHINGTON – Nancy Killefer, who failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help, has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government, the White House said Tuesday.

Killefer was the second major Obama administration nominee to withdraw and the third to have tax problems complicate their nomination after President Barack Obama announced their selection."

What a bunch of crooks....
