More GAD--Geithner and Daschle
They apologized for tax mistakes to get their jobs; they really aren't crooks with friends in high places, they're just stupid and inept. Not so the same deal for the little guy with little problems.My son who manages an automotive quick serve at a dealership received a very threatening letter about his taxes last week. He said he'd mail it to me so I could scan it for my blog, but I'll try to reconstruct for you the double standard for the working stiff and the ones stiffing us in Congress and the Oval Office. The notice said that if he didn't comply immediately he'd be in deep doo-doo.
HE OWES $.50--YES, FIFTY CENTS!!!! No forgiveness for the little guy. The computers can't even be programed to save the government money by not sending notices that cost more to send than to collect.
GAD! Geithner and Daschle.

GAD! He withdrew his name (1 p.m. news break). Must be more under that rug. It's very hard to get a dem to back down on anything dealing with ethics. I wonder how you misplace a check for $83,000 (one month consulting). I never even made that in a year.
We used to say "consultant" was another word for "unemployed," but obviously not if you've been in Congress.
Yeah the piddly taxes were just the tip of the ice berg, I imagine.
We were audited about 10 years ago, when my husband was trying to start a business -- from what I understand, small businesses are a red flag for the IRS. We tried for 2 years to get the IRS to give us details and they declined to do so. Finally paid back the $2,000, which at that time was a fortune to us. We didn't get away with I'm Sorry or I forgot (because we didn't know what we had done.) Did Daschle pay penalties & interest on those back taxes, I wonder?
