Are There Any Government Officials That Actually DO Pay Their Taxes?

Well, looks like another one bites the dust in the game of Survivor that is the Obama cabinet. Shortly after Obama's nomination for Chief Performance Officer withdrew her name due to undisclosed tax issues, Tom Daschle has also pulled out of his nomination for HHS Secretary because of his own blunders with the IRS. While Timothy Geitner was able to survive his failure to operate Turbo Tax correctly, Daschle's $140,000 in owed back taxes for car service proved his undoing. Apparently he hired Bruce Wayne himself to drive him around in the Batmobile since the tax alone on this shuttle service was in the six figures. I don't know whether all these tax snafu's are coming to the surface because of the high economic scrutiny of the times of the reform of Washington ethics promised by Obama, but if we eliminate every capable public servant because they forgot to check box 34B on page 372C of their 1034EZ or called a receipt for cigs a business expense, Barack may be running this country by himself. It wasn't too long ago Ted Stevens corrupt ass was convicted for failing to report a quarter million in gifts, and that sonuvabitch got reelected to the Senate. We should be so lucky if tax shenanigans are the worst skeletons in the cabinet. At least it's not dead hookers. Just let these people pay what they owe and get on with helping the country. That being said, if you work in mother @#$%ing government, learn how to do your mother @#$%ing taxes. Ass.
