Treasury Secretary-nominee Speak up America

Speak up America

So now we are not only trying to appoint people we already know are shady (what kind of vetting process is really going on) but will he be confirmed. Sure no one is perfect and sure in the past people get confirmed and then a couple years down the road have to step down cause something comes up but here we have people we know are shady being put up as possible candidates. More over or on the flip side why confirm someone (lets forget about the appointment itself) as TREASURY SECRETARY that is either so ignorant they would make a common mistake, and not just once but 4 times over, or is plain shady.

“The U.S. Senate Finance Committee said on Tuesday that Treasury Secretary-nominee Timothy Geithner had recently paid back taxes and interest of $31,536 due in large part to a failure to pay self-employment taxes while he was working at the International Monetary Fund.”
Obama's transition team said it was a "common" mistake for IMF employees to miss some tax payments because the IMF, unlike most U.S. employers, does not automatically pay or deduct self-employment taxes on behalf of employees.
America what is going on? I have never in my life seen or read anything like what is happening in this day. America needs to really wake up and say lets not change for the worse but for the better. I thought hope was to hope for a better tomorrow not hope things just change period anything is better than what was?
Following are details of Geithner's tax errors:
TAX YEAR TOTAL TAX AND INTEREST
2001 $ 3,320
2002 $22,650
2003 $14,430
2004 $ 2,302
TOTAL $42,702
Yeah let’s welcome in the new Treasury Secretary of the USA. NOT!!!
