There has been a lot of hope for the new administration, and I, for one, hope it succeeds. We all need it to succeed.
However, we have a new Secretary of the Treasurer, the man who oversees the IRS, who failed to pay taxes until caught, and former Senator Daschle, nominee for Secretary of Human Services, who also failed to pay large amounts of taxes until caught at it. I don't fault the Obama administration for these failures, but the disturbing thing about it is, every time the administration changes, the issue of high ranking officials failing to pay taxes comes up. I fear that had John McCain been the victor, we would have been seeing the same thing.
Could it be true that Leona Helmsley was right when she said, "Taxes are for the little people?"
