Obama’s Brilliant Tax Revenue Plan Continues

The Obama Administration, as we have noted with some interest, seems to have a novel and altogether brilliant strategy for increasing revenues to the United States government: Nominate tax cheaters to high office, and rely on the ensuing media investigation to embarrass these nominees into paying up! Daft, don’t you think?

Here is the O Administration’s latest victim nominee:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius recently corrected three years of tax returns and paid more than $7,000 in back taxes after finding “unintentional errors”—the latest tax troubles for an Obama administration nominee.

The Kansas governor explained the changes to senators in a letter dated Tuesday that the administration released. She said they involved charitable contributions, the sale of a home and business expenses.

Sebelius is, comparatively, a tax cheat lightweight. The big daddy of them all, if I may remind you, is the guy Obama nominated to the highest government finance position in the land, our very own Treasury Secretary Timothy “Brass Balls” Geithner.

Perhaps the most embarrassing moment for Mr. Geithner was his attempt to evade the questions by Arizona Senator Jon Kyl on why he had only remedied the error on back taxes for two of the four years. Because the statute of limitations had run out on the 2001-2002 tax payments, Mr. Geithner was not legally required to pay them — and didn’t until a Treasury confirmation hearing seemed possible.

Would it be too much of a stretch for me to mull over the evidence? Well, now I, at least, know why high-ranking Democrats love taxes so much — not only are they prone to “mistakes,” which seems indicative of their ignorance of tax code cause & effect, but… well… they never pay their taxes anyway.
