Obamas choice for Treasury secretary disclosed publicly Tuesday that he failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in federal taxes from 2001 to 2004.
Senate Democrats tried to brush aside the last-minute complication as a minor bump on an otherwise smooth path to confirmation for Timothy Geithner, who has been president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
After the underpayments were detected, Geithner paid back taxes and interest totaling $43,200.

I got a letter from the IRS on Monday. They overpaid me by $55.62 and I have to declare it as income in April.
MSM ripped into Joe the Plumber for not paying taxes. They didn’t think Joe was a legitimate question asker for far less owed. I wonder if they will think the same for this guy? /s
Oh, come now ! Nobody can understand those darn forms ! You can't blame him for that !
/end extreme sarcasm.
I totally agree with you. But ya know....the elite are exempt from laws and rules. They are actually rewarded for wrongdoing. Look at Bawney, Rangel, Reid, Dodd.
He will get the job. unfortunate
Like Hillary; they mildly suggested (nonbinding) that no foreign entity donate money to the Bill Clinton Presidential Library fund, and she said, to the Fund? OK!
The Senate is acting like they are afraid of The 0ne- they don't want to bother him at all.
I had that skit on album at one time. It’s still funny.....C
At the least (if it wasn't intentional).
Going into business for myself the self-employment tax calculation was one of the "can I do this and eat" items and I'm no tax wizard.
I'm stunned that anyone who worked as an independent contractor would overlook something as trivial as this so I have to chalk it up to intentional.
Or maybe someone who has spent his life working for blood sucking taxpayer funded schemes rather than having a real job doesn't think about such things.
We are "governed" by backbenchers.
That's ok - he'll lead by example.
Good point!
I forgot to put my payroll tax payment in the mail until the day after it was due. My penalty for being one day late was welll over $ 100.00. The interest they charge for being way late (over one month ) compounds at 18%.
BTTT
I’m sure we’ll hear some choice quotes from Wesley Snipes on Geithner’s confirmation.
The House of Lords not only cover for each other in a bipartisan way, but Their Lordships now go out of their ways to cover for appointment nominees not even yet approved for their posts.
I continue to live in the Twilight Zone with no exit.
Help!

This is an absolute outrage. Every tax paying American should be infuriated.
Our country is a hurtin.
No problem here!! After all he’s endorsed by Hussein Obama and the rest of the RATS. The Congressional Tax committeee is headed by Charley Rangel and he doesn’t pay taxes either. After all the bureaucrats with their endorsement of MSM are above the rest of us slobs who pay diligently every year.
The way Joe the Plumber was for having a tax lien.
