Another Democrat tax dodger for Obama’s cabinet
This is what happens when a man with no executive experience is put in the Oval Office by a populace ignorant of the job requirements.
Trade nominee is 4th Obama pick to owe back taxesAnother Obama administration nominee has tax troubles. This time, it’s Ron Kirk, the president’s choice to be U.S. trade representative. Kirk owes an estimated $10,000 in back taxes from earlier in the decade and has agreed to pay them, the Senate Finance Committee said Monday.
The committee said the taxes arise from Kirk’s handling of speaking fees he donated to a scholarship fund that he set up at his alma mater, and for his deduction of the full cost of season tickets to the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball team.
Kirk also agreed to make changes in his accounting of charitable deductions, including reducing the claimed value of a donated television from $3,000 to $1,500.
The former Dallas mayor is the fourth nominee by President Barack Obama to run into tax problems.
A third of the Senate voted against Tim Geithner’s confirmation as treasury secretary after it was disclosed that he had to pay more than $34,000 in back taxes and interest on income he made while working for the International Monetary Fund.
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle then withdrew as a nominee to become Health and Human Services after it was disclosed that he failed to pay $128,000 in taxes. Nancy Killefer, Obama’s pick for chief performance officer, also bowed out amid tax problems.
“A new era of responsibility,” my ass!
You’d think by now, President Obama would have his potential nominees’ taxes and backgrounds investigated before offering them the job. But then again, maybe Obama wants blatant crooks and liars in his cabinet. After 12 years of dirty Chicago politics, maybe it’s all he knows how to do.
