Another Obama Nominee With Tax Issues

I am starting to understand why Democrats are ok with Obama raising taxes on the so called "rich". Its because they do not pay taxes. Obama nominated Ron Kirk for U.S. Trade Representative and low and behold he owes back taxes! If he were not the forth nominee to owe back taxed I would be shocked.

"Ron Kirk, nominated as U.S. Trade Representative in the Obama administration, owes an estimated $10,000 in back taxes from earlier in the decade and has agreed to make his payments, the Senate Finance Committee said Monday."

"The disclosure made the former Dallas mayor the latest in a string of top-level Obama administration appointees found to have underpaid their taxes, following Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle, who withdrew as candidate for Health and Human Services secretary. Nancy Killefer, Obama's pick for chief performance officer, also bowed out amid tax problems."

Well we should count our blessings, he agreed to make payments. You mean nasty Republicans that pay your taxes on time should give Mr. Kirk a break. This was simply an oversight on his part and he will make good on it.
