Obama Can't Find Any Honest Democrats

I generally don't like to do this, but I read an article in that rag of a magazine called Newsweek that so outraged me that I needed to comment on it.

Apparently, based on this article, all we have to do to address the federal budget deficit is to get Democrats to pay their taxes.

The writer actually laments that the standards of integrity are too high for the Obama administration. He whines that Obama can't fill posts because it's virtually impossible to find Democrats that follow the law and pay their taxes. The writer almost scoffs at the notion that people actually pay all their taxes as intended.

Wow.

It's hard enough to believe that someone would make this argument, but even more amazing that a so-called reputable news magazine felt the article was appropriate to publish.

Is it really too much to ask that people appointed to positions in the Treasury Department actually pay their taxes?????!!!! Silly me for thinking the government should follow the laws they created. Perhaps Leona Helmsley was right when she said, “Only the little people pay taxes”.

Looks like the tax-cheat-in-chief Geithner has lots of company in the beltway.
