Stop me if you've heard this one before. Another top Obama administration official failed to pay taxes. Honestly, I've lost track of how many tax cheats Obama has recruited for key roles in his administration. It's at least a half-dozen.
The latest is Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who is Obama's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services.
In preparation for Senate confirmation hearings, Sebelius recently amended three years of tax returns and paid $7,000 in back taxes. Isn't it interesting that all of Obama's nominees paid the back taxes after they got caught or right before they faced confirmation?
Sebelius was the second choice for the HHS job after Tom Daschle withdrew because he failed to pay federal income taxes.
Sebelius chalked up her failure to pay taxes to 'unintentional errors' but she will probably get confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Senate anyway.
After all, we have a tax cheat in charge of the IRS in Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, so what's wrong with having a tax cheat at HHS?
I now understand the philosophical divide between Democrats and Republicans over taxes. Democrats have no problem raising taxes because they don't intend to pay their share. Other people will end up paying, so why not raise taxes as much as possible?

Another case of hypocrisy of the elite liberal left, they constantly complain about the rich not paying their fair share of taxes. Facts are they are cheating the system. "Let the cake eaters pay the taxes we have to govern them, they owe us". Keep exposing them Obama.
Obama could eliminate the audit and investigation arms of the IRS by just naming candidates between Daschle, Geithner and now Sebelius he has recovered a quarter of a million in tax fraud
