Follow the Leader

What are you teaching the American taxpayer? That it is ok NOT to pay taxes--just as long as you apologize and pay your backtaxes?

Obama 'Absolutely' Stands By Daschle at HHS

Daschle is not the first Cabinet choice that has had issues with his taxes.

Geithner failed to pay taxes as well.

I don't know...if I were the "average tax paying American," that didn't typically follow politics, I'd certainly take these two appointments as..."it's ok to not pay your taxes."

Team it up with alotting over $100 billion to the low-level income level, so that they become even more dependent on the government and what do you get?

A society that will depend and depend on the Big Ol' Government...that WILL eventually run out of money...and then be in an even worse crisis than we are now.

WHY is it ok to have two tax evading criminals in the POTUS's Cabinet?!? Is anyone else as enraged as I am? The double standards of this nation today are sickening.
