Thanks Obama...what a joke!

Timothy Geithner is well on his way to being confirmed as treasury secretary after an 18-5 Finance Committee vote on Thursday to forward the recommendation to the full Senate, but his supporters may want to advise him to double check his automated tax returns before submitting them.


Geithner cited the software program TurboTax in testimony before the Finance Committee Wednesday, saying he failed to include self-employment taxes in his federal returns for two years.


Geithner said to his recollection, the program did not prompt him to report income and pay self-employment taxes.


"I mistakenly believed that I was meeting my obligations fully, including self-employment taxes, but I did not prepare my returns in a way that caught that mistake initially," Geithner told the committee, adding "these are my responsibility, not the tax software responsibility."


TurboTax, which has approximately 18 million customers a year and annual revenue of $1 billion, is made for the average taxpayer, said Scott Gulbransen, a spokesman for TurboTax

So Geithner can avoid paying his taxes and be given the job of Treasury Secretary by Obama? Amazing...Obama sure knows how to run a country...LOL!

I have to say, I don't like turbo tax myself.. a couple yrs ago, I did mine using turbo tax just to see if I could get the same result as my tax people (LOL) and turbo tax didn't get me as big a refund as my people!

I have never committed income tax evasion, never cheated on our taxes. Apparently you have. Was it to the tune of $35,000?(or whatever hugh number he stole from the American people in way of taxes). Also, wonder if you know you just condoned income tax evasion, cheating, lying, stealing. Seems it's ok with you if US officals, people in control of our governement are actually stealing American money and putting it directly in their own pocket.
You are approving and promoting sin.

Tim, perhaps you could send your people to Geithner. They may very well save America!

I always do the same thing, and I distinctly remember Turbo Tax asking all pertinent questions concerning my private business dealings. And yes, my people beat TT, but last year not by the difference in price for their services....

A mistake isn't income tax fraud. If this had been a Republican, you'd be all about "give the guy the benefit of the doubt".

Correct. If there was no intent, it was not what he meant.

Be honest, you think Geithner is the right man for the job? You feel comfortable with him overseeing our economy?

The vetting committee also unearthed another embarrassing nugget: that the legal immigration status of a housekeeper briefly lapsed while in his employ. But that's another matter altogether.

Well, let's look at some other things you have said to see if you're consistent...

True, but I still wouldn't mind seeing the

CEO and other officials of BushCo spending time in the big house instead of A big house in Dallas.

You didn't just want him out of office; you wanted revenge.

remember the 18-1/2 minute gap in the tapes?

No 'benefit of the doubt' that Nixon's personal secretary said she accidentally erased those minutes? Remember, we're talking Rosemary Woods, not Richard Nixon in this specifici point.

But like I have said, when the team is losing, the coach takes the blame. It is called accountability.

So is O____ [I can't name the guy the same thing on this site I name him on some others] accountable for this, or does the principle cross party lines?

The good news is that in January, the town of

Crawford, Texas will have its village idiot back, full time

False prophecy.

Pulling quotes to the context of a yet to take office political appointee from one describing how I believe many in the Bush administration committed criminal acts is not the same thing.

I don't believe for a minute Ms. Woods did this by accident. IMO, Nixon either directed her to do so, or he did it himself and she took the fall for the boss.

If Obama tramples civil liberties like Bush did, pushes us into invading sovereign nations which pose us no threat, you bet. Making an appointment is not the same thing, and you know it.

False prophecy.

Looks dead on to me, but I claim no gift of prophecy. The worst president since Tyler went from DC to Midland to Crawford. Their idiot is finally home. Until he moves to the new digs in Big D.

I wouldn't. I'm still mad Larry Craig isn't in jail.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Correct. If there was no intent, it was not what he meant.

Oh brother.

 

[donnA]

You know what, intent or not, it's still illegal, and he still did it.
And now the governement has given permission to commit income tax fraud. Oh, no, not to us, but to Obama's people.

When people make a mistake and it's illegal it shouldn't be counted agains them?
Some people make a spur of the moment mistake, not something they planned, and t's still called murder and their still accountable for it.
But, not accorcing to you. After all it was a mistake, no intent.

These comments are so over the top as to be ridiculous. Take everything to the extreme, don't you? There is a big difference between misinterpreting our ridiculously complex tax code and taking a human life. But extremists have trouble with nuance and degree.

You were there? In criminal law, innocense does not have to be proven; guilt does. Yet, how many years would you sentence her to, if possible?

Their idiot is finally home. Until he moves to the new digs in Big D.

He ain't gonna be living there, so they don't have him back "full time," as you said => false.

Some other guy who took things to the extreme said, "He that shall say 'Raca' [idiot] shall be in danger of the judgment... And he that shall say 'you fool' shall be in danger of the gehenna of fire."
