Timothy Geithner

Michelle Malkin; journalist, conservative and hot chick, has done it again with her Townhall column.
Timothy Geithner: Secretary Treasurer designate had failed to pay $43,000 in taxes. Oddly enough, he was able to come up with the remaining $26,000 debt after nominated. It's not a problem, though. According to John Kerry "it's possible to make an honest mistake". Call it a coincidence but most every media news outlet and Obama supporter uses the word "honest mistake". This is what I'm hearing from Obama-ites: "there was no intention not to pay".-----except that he didn't.
Malkin continues; Do we all remember 'average guy', Joe Wurzelbacher? He was crucified for failing to pay a $1,182.98 tax lien. Oh, and by the way, the state of Ohio sent has tax notification to a vacated residence.
Malkin reminds us though that Geithner is no "average guy" because his supporters have dubbed him "too big to fail". When Democrats like Geithner, Al Franken and Charlie Rangel don't pay taxes it's an honest mistake. When you and I balk about taxes one of three things occur: (1) guys like Joe Biden call us unpatriotic; (2) we lose our property or (3) we go to jail.
This entire fiasco allows me to segue into another money subject. Remember the original bailout money? Well, we can't find out where $350 billion of the original $700 billion. Not to worry. The rest has been appropriated. Pelosi said, "this is so exciting". John Boehner, minority leader of the House replied, "Oh my God". If you can't figure this out for yourself, Boehner wasn't happy.
Question! Isn't the bailout a humongous ponzi scheme?
