TIMOTHY GEITHNER'S CONFIRMATION
Seriously, are we really going to make Mr. Geithner the Treasury secretary? How is it, a man of his experience and education did not know that he owed Social Security & Medicare Taxes for working as an independent contractor for the IMF for SEVERAL years? If Mr. Geithner had simply bothered to use Turbo Tax/Tax Cut, he would have avoided this violation. As a tax payer, I expect a more competent person to be the Treasury secretary. After all, he will be responsible for allocating TRILLIONS of tax payers’ hard earned money the next several years in the form tax dollars for corporate bailouts! How can we trust him to administer that huge program when he has demonstrated that he cannot even properly file and pay his personal income taxes?
Respectfully,
Paul Warn, (Lansing,IL)
