So Barack Obama sez that his pick for Treasury Secretary had made a “simple” mistake. Yeah, it’s no big deal, he will only be in charge of the IRS. The same IRS who had to audit him and let him know that he “forgot” to pay self employment taxes. Hey, Timothy Geithner, it was only $34,000. Chump change. But again, he will only be in charge of America’s finances. Great transparency by the incoming president. It is a proud day to be an American (especially today being the due date for estimated tax payments to the IRS - the same payments that Geithner short changed the tax Gods over several years). Heck, the Republicans do not even seem to care, so why should we? I mean, this is the same guy who In October 2003, was named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with a salary in 2007 of $398,200. But he forgot to pay a tax that any self employed person with half a brain coughs up every year. Oh well. Cannot wait for my next estimated tax payment.
