WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's choice for a top job with the Treasury Department is having tax problems. A congressional report says Obama's nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs, Lael Brainard, was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The report by the Senate Finance Committee staff also challenges the accuracy of a deduction Brainard claimed for running an office from her home. The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return.
The committee's top Republican is unhappy that the committee staff had to submit 10 sets of questions to Brainard before getting complete information about the discrepancies.
Brainard is the fifth Obama nominee to have tax problems.

Do ANY dems pay taxes???
“Brainard is the fifth Obama nominee to have tax problems”.
...and certainly not the last. It’s a prerequisite with the BO admin to have a past criminal record of some sort so you can fit in.
First time it’s an accident.
Second time it’s a coincidence.
Third time it is an inconvenient truth.
By the fifth such incidence, the cat is out of the bag and there exists a vast culture of corruption in the Obama administration and Democrat Party.
Candidate Joe Biden said that it was PATRIOTIC to pay your fair share of taxes.
So do we still have to hold our tongues on saying liberals are UNPATRIOTIC?!!!
I don’t know about that, but rest assured the dems are digging as fast as they can to find a Republican that hasn’t paid all their taxes to off set the damage of this
Brainless dem.
Well said.
Just the fifth? I thought they ALL had tax problems. They're dems, after all; dems never pay taxes, that's why they're always so eager to raise them.
Are there ANY DEMOCRATS THAT PAY THEIR TAXES????
“Brainard is the fifth Obama nominee to have tax problems”.
Where “problem” is defined as “getting caught”.
That would explain their readiness to raise them...
Speaking of which, what's going on with Charlie Rangel? Has Madam Pelosi absolved him of all his tax sins?
If there are, no self-respecting 'crat who does would admit it.
Taxes are for the other guy. We see now why Democrats have no qualms about raising taxes since they have no intention of paying those taxes themselves.
Brainard doesn’t have to worry. Giethner will help.
Taxes Dems don’t need to pay no stinkin TAXES
The list, ping
They don't bother to pay their own....... no big deal.
