another Obama appointment under fire, Tim Geithner is to control the IRS and he only paid his 2001 and 2002 payroll taxes of $43,000 until he was vetted for his Obama appointment. And for hiring a illegal housekeeper.

Obama is letting is slide as it was a common mistake to not know he has to pay SS and pay roll taxes.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yes and this guy is going to run the IRS :shock: :lol: To funny I guess from now on if the IRS finds you didn't pay your taxes just tell them I DIDN'T KNOW. and they will let you slide. NOT

By the way when he paid the $43,000 in back pay roll taxes he paid no fines, penalities, late fees or interest according to the report. How many commoners would get away with that :shock: :???:

During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation's microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, mother of President-elect Barack Obama

Timothy Franz Geithner [pronounced /ˈgaɪtnər/] (born August 18, 1961) is the 9th president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In that role he also serves as Vice Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Geithner is President-elect Barack Obama's nominee to succeed Henry Paulson as United States Secretary of the Treasury.

I have to correct one thing. apparently Tim did pay interest. But another interesting tidbit out is, he was audited in 2006 and had to pay back taxes then so he paid them but he never paid the taxes from 2001 and 2002 until the vetting progress started.
Obama said it was an honest mistake but others said the company Tim worked for repeatedly sent out letters to employees to remind them they had to pay their own pay roll taxes and SS, but Tim just didn't pay them.
Will he get the job or will Obama have to find somebody else? I say the Dems will sweep this under the rug and he'll get the job due to the economy.

BTW Obama wants access to the $350 billion on day one in office, will he get it?

Aint this just wonderful? The chosen One chooses a guy (who just happened to work with Mom years ago) with tax issues to run the IRS! Then, after he passes the Obama vetting, when somebody else finds the issues, the Messianic response is "Ah, don't worry about that, not a big deal, he's the only man that can do the job. Just ignore it."

Change we can beleive in.....Chicago style. :mad:

Actually Geithner was not picked to head up just the IRS- he has been nominated as the Treasury Secretary to replace Paulson....

The question is do you support someone that has according to news reports recieved letters about have to personally pay these taxes but didn't pay them. Not at least until he was caught in an audit in 2006. Remember he paid the 2003, 2004 and 2005 back taxes but didn't pay the 2001 and 2002 until his vetting in 2008. He maybe can get away with saying he didn't know at first, but he paid 3 years worth when audited why not the first two years worth he had to have know he hadn't paid them either.
And if he didn't know then are you willing to support him running the US Treasury where trillions of dollars are at stake? :???:

So much for the Obama team's vetting process. With this guy's 'mistake' and Richardson pulling out - his vetting team is starting to look like a bunch of stooges.

But I don't guess it really matters to the Obama bunch if he cheated on his taxes and hired an illegal immigrant. Just so they found out the important stuff on their questionnaire - like whether or not he owns any guns. :???:

Actually I think the immigrant thing will be a nonissue...The way I understand it the employee was a legal immigrant when he hired her- who let her "green card" lapse for 3 months- before getting it renewed...

Wouldn't you love to know if he would have ever paid up those 2001 and 2002 taxes if he hadn't been caught in the vetting process? :???:

This guy should never be considered. I have been audited and the IRS is ruthless with you when you are an average Joe. The guy over them should have an absolute clean record and not be a hypocrite.
