eventually it all catches up with you
it’s still early tax season but reading the news, we can gain some lessons on how NOT to deal with the our taxes:
- if you think you might one day be charged with overseeing the national budget and spending reform, you might want to make sure you don’t ever acquire a tax lien. nancy killefer, obama’s nominee for chief performance officer, withdrew her resignation today because of a $946.69 lien she had which she paid within 5 months (although there are rumors there are some other tax issues).
- if you want to be treasury secretary, it’s ok to have a history of unpaid payroll taxes. after it was discovered during the vetting process that tim geithner didn’t make payroll taxes for 2003 and 2004, he made the payment of over $25,000. he has since been confirmed.
- it’s best to not have in excess of 100k in unpaid taxes… and to not lie on your tax returns. tom daschle, nominee for secretary of health and human services withdrew his nomination today over $140,000 of taxes which was a result of over $300k of undisclosed income.
one’s gotta ask, does this say something about obama’s judgement, his bad luck in making bad picks or is this an indication of how the americans are trying to cheat the government? either way, it’s not good.
