That description fits most everyone I know, and most of those are Limbo listening far right republicans.
Face it most will fudge on their taxes if they they think they can get away with it. Have you ever fudged on your taxes any at all or had the IRS refuse a deduction ? If so then you are the same person as you claim Geithner to be. My guess is you are not a saint to the IRS.
Hang around with a conservative crowd do you? Not saying your lying but it's a little hard to believe in your case.
There's a certain amount of truth to that but I don't think it either justifies or excuses a public official cheating, let alone the Secretary of the Treasury.
Timmy was in effect rewarded for his cheating. If you or I get caught we face fines and maybe even prison.
I find the hypocrisy and double standard sickening.
But maybe you're OK with it.
As for me, I don't think I've ever cheated on taxes. Years ago I used to pad my company expense reports sometimes. When I was a kid I shoplifted a piece of candy from a convenience store once. And I did cheat on a written exam once as well.
But I've never been audited or denied a tax deduction.
What a bunch of BS, little timmie didn't fudge on his taxes there is evidence that he not only failed to pay his self employment tax multiple years he apparently falsely claimed to have paid those taxes in a signed affidavit.
He didn't pay those back taxes until he got the nomination for TS.
It should be before a court of law to determine if it was merely an (incompetent) mistake or outright tax fraud.
Either way it should disqualify him the TS position.
Well there is little doubt that he would not have been caught unless he was nominated for the Treasury Position. In fact apparently he knew all along he had cheated.
Typical Liberals. Lie, cheat, steal. Whatever it takes.
Face it you are either a moron or a hypocritical loser partisan if you equate having a deduction refused with purporting a known fraud.
WHICH ARE YOU?
You seem to get CONFUSED awfully easily.
I would suggest that it is because you are lazy and sloppy, and just don't have a very good command of the FACTS. And yet you continue to talk about those of "us" who are biased and not objective.
I suggest you take a look in the mirror, my friend.
Geithner worked for Stephen Friedman at the NY Fed. Everyone knows this. It was Friedman who worked at Goldman Sachs, not Geithner.
And as far as your Bloomberg article is concerned highlighting the decision to pay back various counter-parties to the AIG credit default swaps ($440 billion) in FULL, rather than .40 cents on the Dollar ( which is what ONE counter-party was willing to agree to, not all counter-parties ), you conveniently ignore articles that discuss all of the uncertainty surrounding allowing AIG to go bankrupt at the time; as if there was another realistic and quantifiable choice/response by the Fed given the environment that the financial markets and economy were in last Fall.

You also fail to mention that the decision to make the counter-parties whole and avoid lengthy and uncertain litigation was essentially HANK PAULSON's, and Tim Geithner was merely a "soldier" used to execute PAULSON'S decision.
You really need to stop throwing a bunch of crappy "generalizations" out there and do some homework and have a solid understanding and command of the FACTS before you try and present your claims and argument. Otherwise, your continual misrepresentations and "sloppy" presentation dramatically lessen the credibility of your posts.
