Senate OKs Geithner for Treasury
Published:
Let me see if I " forget" to pay my taxes for last year will I get a big fat promotion. What a BIG JOKE !!!

"I forgot" has never been a viable defense against the IRS, although it was originally suggested by comedian Steve Martin in the 1970's, in a routine he called, "How to Become a Millionaire and Never Pay Taxes." I guess I just took it for granted that no one would believe it would actually work.
A friend of mine recently lost his tavern to the IRS, who seized his bar and assets for an alleged tax debt of $3,000. I've suggested that he simply tell them that he's "truly, truly sorry," and to give them assurances that it was merely "an oversight" on his part. It worked for Geithner; I can see no reason why it shouldn't work for my friend (but I'm fairly certain it won't, because he's not a member).
Honesty, Integrity, Accountability, Patriotism, Civic Pride, Leadership ... These are all words our politicians throw around loosely when they want us to swallow what they offer us. I have serious doubts that any of our elected officials even know what those words mean.
