Federal tax revenues should spike considerably.

Ahh Ron “tax to the max” Sims - as he has been known in Seattle.

He’ll get along with BO just fine.

“nominations pending before the Senate for confirmation”

Should read, “list of Obama supporters who owe back taxes, are associated with radical leftist groups, are rich funders of Obama getting favors returned, and who will end up in scandals.”

Or for brevity: “Upcoming embarrassments, scandals, and withdrawls”

All of those in the business of dissing John McCain should reflect that, had he been elected, we’d likely already be seeing Fred Thompson at Interior, Mitt Romney at Treasury, Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General, and, of course, Sarah Palin in the Vice President’s office. I imagine most other positions would also be filled, or being filled, with very capable people. McCain wasn’t my first choice, but I’m certain his actions and cabinet choices would be inspiring some amount of confidence in the people and the markets — not fear.

Surely Obama has learned his lesson by now and wouldn’t nominate any more tax cheats.More likely EVERYONE available for nomination is a tax avoider.(What’s a poor marxist to do?)
