Reply #13: Geithner didn't make 'errors and omissions' when he cheated on

his taxes. He failed to pay SS taxes for an employee even after being advised to do so. This was known to Democrats before he was confirmed.
Timothy Geithner's Tax Problems

Over several years, Treasury secretary nominee Timothy F. Geithner failed to pay Social Security taxes, even though he was advised by his employer to do so, signed an agreement indicating that he understood that such payments were his responsibility and received extra pay from his employer specifically for that purpose.

Mr. Geithner "came clean" only when he was caught, first by an IRS audit that found he owed Social Security taxes for 2003 and 2004 and then when additional tax liabilities for 2001 and 2002 were discovered after his nomination. He has been praised for repaying these additional taxes for the earlier years, which apparently may not have been required under a statute of limitations, but this raises another question: Why didn't he voluntarily correct his 2001 and 2002 taxes once he found out that he had made the same error in 2003 and 2004?

So tell me again, how are we better than them. If you support this administration, then you support overlooking crimes such as toture and treason and tax evasion. This is what I have learned from Democrats. We do not need to look back at these crimes. So, I am now confused that for Charlie Rangel whose 'crimes' come nowhere close to those that Democrats want us to forget, the same standards, OURS not THEIRS do not apply.

Yet you insist that we are better than them. How do you come to that conclusion?
