Both Sec. Treas.have issues — Turbo Tim Geithner committed tax fraud by signing papers while at IMF that additional payments to pay individuals’ national income taxes was supposed to be used exactly for that — and then Tim blamed Turbo Tax when he did not pay his federal taxes.

And Obama pushing for comprehensive amnesty while he has TWO illegal alien family members defying multiple deportation orders.

(And MSM keeps ignoring these ironies.)

Does anyone else sometimes get the idea that the actual people that run this nation are Citibank and Goldman Sachs?

I’ve said for years that the old conspiracy theorists were right: we already have one world government, and its name is Citigroup.

Masters of the Universe would not see the stock price of the evil empire go down 95%.

it is rich people’s duty to “pay a little more”

Well then, that explains the tax dodges of Tim Geithner, Charlie Rangel, John Kerry and the Kennedy Clan.

Or is it: ‘it is the DUMB (Conservative) rich people’s duty to “pay a little more”‘?

I have zero problem with offshore accounts yet I hope they CRUCIFY Lew for them. It’s high time the progs have to live up to the idiotic standards they demand of others.

Let him burn . . .

Alinsky’s “Rules” work both ways.

The leftists always seem to forget that…

…of course, we seem to forget it, too.

This will never happen. The press doesn’t hold Democrats accountable for anything any longer. They only hold Republicans accountable – and sometime for things that aren’t even their problem or fault. The “press” is just another arm of the Democrat party now.

The public relations department of a company does not publicize the failings of that company, why would we expect the public relations department of the DNC to publicize the failings of one of its own?

/really liking that description of the MSM offered here yesterday by one of our regulars, it is just so spot on

Until the GOP realizes that their #1 priority should be all out war against the MSM, they’ll just keep spinning their wheels.

What was his job when the banking industry fell apart about four or five years ago?

What was his job prior to Citigroup?

He is, and was, a big part of the overall fiscal problem foisted on all of us in 2008.

For this, he deserves a promotion?

Guess it worked for Turbo-Tax Timmy, why stop now?

Because, consistency.

Is this ironic? Or do you mean consistency like promoting folks to handle the country’s finances who do things like fail to pay their taxes?

“We don’t necessarily have to do 10% but it’s the principle. He didn’t say if your crops fail, don’t give me any tithe or if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithe. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality. You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10 you put in one. Of course you’ve got to get rid of the loopholes. Some people say, ‘Well that’s not fair because it doesn’t hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.’ Where does it say you’ve got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don’t need to hurt him. It’s that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here building our infrastructure and creating jobs.”
