Wow, just fucking wow...slider, are you starting to see why I think he's an amateur? You can't think tax cheats should serve in high levels of the federal government, can you?
This is the bezzle at work folks...until the fraud is forced out we will not see any sustainable economic recovery. It's obvious the government doesn't give a fuck about ending the bezzle--which means that the task falls to the market. And the market is merciless about this kind of shit in the long run. I'm talking another 35-50% decline for the S&P 500.

Kirk's errors involved honoraria from speeches, on which he should have paid taxes; the cost of sports games, for which he deducted too much; and improper treatment of accounting fees on his income taxes. Kirk has agreed to file amended returns.
The news about Kirk's mistakes comes as tax-related issues have become a topic of great sensitivity for the administration, following several high-profiled appointees whose nominations were threatened or derailed because of tax mistakes.
