And as we slide into an undeniable Greater Deprerssion-
Drudge reports TurboTax Timmy going after the oil and gas companies for “global warming”

Eddie Haskell as Treasury Secretary?

If I tried to make this up I couldn’t do it. If I wrote this as a screenplay I’d get laughed out of Hollywood. The Secretary of the Treasury shown to be a tax cheat stating he’s going after tax cheats?

ROFLMAO!

[OldEagle]

The other thing that bugs me about these high-level tax cheats is that when they are caught it appears the penalties and interest are usually waived.

Two sets of rules?

[SparkyBass]

Just make 'em use...

There needs to be a website which will collect analogies about Tim Geithner going after tax cheats.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Ted Kaczynsky to be your secretary of Urban Planning.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Rod Blagojevich to be Jimmy Carter’s international election supervisory agency.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Bernie Madoff to the Office of Thrift Supervision

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Hillary Clinton to work out a deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Oh wait...

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like putting Barney Frank in charge of the Catholic Church Council of Choirs.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Bill Clinton to the Bd of Directors of the American Sorority Association.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Roseanna Barr to President of the Director’s Guild of America.

Geithner paid interest, but not a penalty. Rangel needs to go.

All fodder for the Rs to use against the Ds in 2010 and 2012.

That headline made me laugh out loud. Thank you, I need that this morning.

[Personal Responsibility]

Having Tim Geithner as your Treasury Secretary is like asking Rosie O’Donnell to not be annoying.

[Rummyfan]

Treasury Secy Geithner proposes a crackdown on "tax evasion and avoidance" before tax cheat Cong Rangel's committee........

One tax cheat appears before another tax cheat, vowing to crack down on potential tax cheats. We are through the Looking Glass....

[agrace]

Another example along these same lines - this morning on Fox Bill Hemmer had some guy on to discuss whether criminal charges will be filed against some of these corporate execs for so much company failure and loss of revenue. He was told that the FBI currently has hundreds of pending cases looking into possible financial criminality.

But the “real killers” in Congress - Barney Frank, Chris Dodd et al, get a pass.
