Just a Little Hiccup

Timothy Geithner the New York Federal Reserve chief that President-elect Barack Obama choose for treasury secretary failed to pay $34,000 in taxes. In addition he employed a housekeeper without proper immigration papers.
The democrats claimed failing to pay his taxes was a small hiccup. Part of his job as treasury secretary is to oversee the Internal Revenue Service. Yahoo News reported Senate Democratic leaders and Obama transition officials immediately voiced confidence in Geithner and called for his quick confirmation once Obama is sworn in and is able to formally nominate him — citing the important role Geithner will play in dealing with one of the nation's severest recessions in decades.
Do we really trust a man that does not pay his taxes as treasury secretary?
Are not employers required by law to have their employees prove they are either American citizens or have the proper documentation to work in the United States?
How long are we/you going to allow the current people that are running this country to ignore the laws that we have to obey? I for one am tired of all their stealing and lies.
We have a large prison population in this country because of; let me think, oh yes a series of hiccups. Why should our friends and neighbors be in prison and the ruling class not.
Maybe I can make an honest mistake and not pay taxes this year. I need a good housekeeper; maybe Timothy Geithner can recommend one. Until next time.
