This guy remembered to write off his Son’s camp as a “business expense”, yet did not remember to pay taxes on the help…hmmm. I seem to remember a few Bush nominee’s that had some major issues when they hired illegal aliens to work for them and taxes did not get paid.
Question of the day: Mr Geithner would you have paid your taxes if you not have been nominated? He wouldn’t give a direct answer.
And yet, he wants to lead the Tresury and be the head of the IRS?
What say you?

That would be a BIG NO.
In fact I think he should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

Absolutely. It would be the essence of democrat hypocrisy:
An ordinary dude like Joe the Plumber gets caught owing $1200 in back taxes and the MSM/democrats are ready to burn him at the stake.
But their guy, nominated to “lead” the IRS owes $150K, and that’s okay…
Overall: No
The taxes is really not the key issue, and I don’t think it should preclude him from being confirmed.
His prior involvement in the economic crisis, and his role with the various entangled companies should prevent him from being confirmed. He’s got a lot of knowledge about what is going on because of his role in not preventing it (and arguably adding fuel to the fire).
Plus there are enough Goldman people involved already.
PS: He wouldn’t be the head of the IRS, he’d be the boss of the person who is the head of the IRS.
Big No!!
Integrity is what you do, and how you behave, when no one is watching.

Nope. I think he is lying about the tax business. His behavior of cleaning up after himself just his past November says he knew what he’d done all along.
I’m pretty shocked at how willingly Senators (Dems and Repubs) have been to excuse his behavior as a mistake.
He’s a big fat liar and lying not just to the Senate, but to the whole country. I do not think that someone that lies about the very thing he will be doing (overseeing the Treasury and the IRS) should be confirmed.
NO, but you know he fits in with the rest of “them”.
And **NO **to Bill Ayers as Sec. of Education
Well, he’s either incompetent or lacking in integrity and moral character. Take your pick.
Either way, the answer is no.
No.
Look, I hate paying taxes, and wouldn’t mind someone trying to get away with something like that - seems to me an attempt to profit from some gray areas - if they were being nominated for something that didn’t directly have to do w/taxes and the IRS.
But not for this position.
Only knowing what I’ve heard so far, no.
I’d say NO.
I suspect he WILL be confirmed, though.
well by Chicago standards and by the bar that Big O has set for participation in his cabinet, he is not that bad despite being a crook, liar and potential felon.
