Another Day, Another Obama Appointee with a Tax Problem

This seriously isn’t funny anymore…but I gotta ask it anyway: Doesn’t Barack Obama know anybody who isn’t a tax cheat?

Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama’s nominee to become Health and Human Services secretary, said in a letter obtained by the Associated Press that she made “unintentional errors” on her taxes and has corrected her returns from three different years.

In the letter, which was sent to senators and dated today, Sebelius wrote that she had made changes related to charitable contributions, business expenses and the sale of a home, according to the AP.

The wire service reports that she and her husband paid just over $7,000 in back taxes, along with $878 in interest, for the years 2005-2007.

Interest only, huh? No penalites? No extra fees? You know, like the IRS routinely charges regular citizen tax cheats?

The IRS needs to stop whatever the hell they are doing right now. And start auditing every single Senator and Congressman in D.C.

  1. Maybe he only nominates tax cheats, as a way of recouping their taxes, and lowering the budget deficit?
    If you agree, and think that’s the reason, I have some nice beach front property in Arizona for sale.
