The latest of 44's picks for a high administration post has bitten the dust. Nancy Killefer, the "performance officer" at the White House, has withdrawn her name from consideration after news reports surfaced that she had failed to pay employment taxes on household help, among other indiscretions. Timothy Gaithner managed to be confirmed as Treasury Secretary despite serious omissions of information about income were uncovered. Former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle led the pack of tax cheats with his failure to report over $140,000 in income, including a chauffeur driven auto. An old campaign spot has surfaced, depicting Senator Daschle driving his beater Pontiac around the capital city, demonstrating how committed he was to saving money. It is wet-your-pants funny.
All kidding aside, isn't it ironic that left wing pundits and bloggers love to rail about how the affluent members of society need to pay more taxes , and then the agent of change in Washington appoints individuals who aren't even paying what they owe under the current system.
