I never would’ve imagined that an illegal alien former and probably current drug dealer with ties to terrorists who spends day and night worrying about the treatment of captured al Qaeda agents would ever nominate somebody who cheated on their taxes.

Shocked.

The underpayments are mostly related to Geithner's time at the International Monetary Fund. All U.S. citizens who work for the I.M.F. are required to file self-employment payroll taxes, since the I.M.F., as an international organization, does not withhold these taxes for Social Security and Medicare. After a 2006 IRS audit found that the payroll taxes were missing on his 2003 and 2004 returns, Geithner paid additional taxes and interest of $16,732 (the IRS declined to impose any penalties). Geithner then voluntarily amended his tax returns for 2001 and 2002 for an additional $25,970, but only after the Obama transition team discovered the same lapse in his payroll taxes (check out Geithner's tax records to learn more).

It would change America if taxpayers had to write a CHECK once a year for Social Security and Medicare. With holding these taxes in weekly installments hides their true cost.

This is the genius who is supposed to get us out of our economic troubles?

Why didn’t he notice that money for Social Security and Medicare was, ***all of a sudden***, no longer being taken out of his paycheck?

Can’t he read?

Since the Secretary of Treasury doesn’t pay his taxes, I assume it will be A-OK if I don’t either.

Yet another example of Obama’s superior vetting skills.

[Darth Dan]

WHAT??!! Didn’t he fill out the questionare?

[jeffc]

and this will be picked up by the lame-stream press and be constantly broadcast until the nominee runs screaming for the hills when?

...Oh wait. Sorry. It's not a Republican nominee, so it'll never happen. Media to sweep it under rug as we speak . . .

Carry on, folks . . . .

Taxes are for the ‘little people’ you know....

He’s a Democrat. Paying taxes is only for idiot conservatives who think they are being responsible and law-abiding.

I want a boat and $1 billion so I can tell my boss what to do with his steenking job.

After all if the “captains of industry” can take their companies into ruin and get a big payoff for it, shouldn’t I be able to do the same thing with MY job????

Joe Plumber not paying taxes = bad. Obama nominee not paying taxes = good.
