How hard is it to not be corrupt?
Apparently, for DemocRats, impossible.

Funny. Democrat Charlie Rangel also claimed careless mistakes.
Democrats not paying taxes while raising them on the rest of us is the height of hypocrisy.

More Clintonian behavior. I'm sure any one of us would be given a pass if we simply said we were sorry. Yeah, right.

I just wish a Senator would ask Geithner: “Do you believe that paying taxes is only for the little people”?

That BS didn’t work for the Republicans; won’t work for Liberal scum. That is, if the GOP finds its spine and gonads.

Look on the bright side - you now have a 100% iron-clad excuse when audited by the IRS. “I made an honest mistake, like your boss”.

Oh, come on people. I just heard Geithner on radio say that these were all just careless mistakes that he should not have made, but that it was unintentional, and that he took full responsibility for them. So, what more can you ask for in a Treasury Secretary who'll oversee the IRS?

From Wikipedia:
“During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation’s microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, mother of President Barack Obama”
No red flags there!
“Geithner believes, along with Henry Paulson, that the Treasury Department needs new authority to experiment with responses to the financial crisis of 2008.”
No problem there!
“While an employee of IMF, Geithner signed a tax worksheet stating his “obligation of the U.S. Social Security tax, which I will pay on my fund income”[25] and another annual worksheet stating “I wish to apply for tax allowance of U.S. federal and state income taxes and the difference between the ‘self-employed’ and ‘employed’ obligation of the U.S. Social Security tax which I will pay on my Fund income.”
Seems more intentional than a ‘mistake’
Lets see, a socialist involved with the Ford Foundation, and their dealings with the largest Muslim Dictatorship in the world, wants more authority to ‘experiment’ with our money, while he cheats on his own taxes.
Sounds perfect for the job.

I think we all need to join the DemocRat Party so that “we too” can get away with breaking the laws. It’s the only solution.

Poor judgment and poor decision making cannot be waved away with an apology.
The facts make it clear that he took those actions intentionally. That alone disqualifies him from the office.
He’ll get in anyway, but it SHOULD disqualify him.

Steve Martin: You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes ! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!" How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal." Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?" Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!

That unusual background noise is just congressional republicans strapping on their complimentary Obama-brand kneepads.

"...As to his failure to pay the payroll taxes from 2001 to 2004 while he worked for the International Monetary Fund, Geithner said: "These were careless mistakes. They were avoidable mistakes..." Bulls**t!! The IMF gave him that money, specifically to pay his payroll deductions. He just chose to use it otherwise.
If he can't be trusted to account for a few thousand dollars, how can he be trusted to account for trillions?
