Did You Notice?

If you are a conservative, you probably noticed. If you are a liberal, I strongly doubt it.

Last fall, as Joe The Plumber campaigned for the Republicans, the Democrats attacked him viciously and vilified him for being behind on his property taxes. They said he should be in jail (even though delinquent property taxes is not a jailable offense). But you get the point - they wanted to all but hang the guy.

But now, Obama has nominated a guy for Secretary of the Treasury, who oversees the IRS, and the guy did not pay taxes for 4 years! But the same liberals who crucified Joe are giving this guy a pass. It seems if a conservative is behind on his taxes, he is a criminal, but if it is a Democrat, well, suddenly it's "no big deal".

Gee, I guess that means every taxpayer can stop paying their taxes for the next 4 years, because Obama says it's just an "innocent mistake" and Harry Reid says it's only a "hiccup". I wonder where Obama would then get the money for his expansive spending plans?

Look, Geithner is a tax cheat. They can claim "innocent mistake" (Obama's words), but that is completely bogus - the guy ran the International Money Fund, and is SUPPOSED to be smart enough in money matters to run the Treasury - yet, he "mistakenly" does not pay taxes for 4 years? Either he is a crook, or he is too stupid to be Treasury Secretary.

Period.
