No wonder Democrats don't care about higher tax rates

Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer Withdraw Nominations

If you're up for a big important economy job like Treausry Secretary
it's ok to have messed up on your taxes. Anything lower and you're
gone. Two of Obama's cabinet nominees, Tom Daschle (Health and Human
Services) and Nancy Killefer (chief performance officer) withdrew today
due to tax issues. Either they messed up on them, or purposefully
avoided paying them or something in between. If Obama is going to raise
taxes at some point in the future, it won't look very good to have a
team full of people branded as cheats.

These political types seem to think no one from IRS would dare audit their returns so they cheat with abandon. At least a gunman who robs you has the decency not to claim he looking out for you.
