I’ve heard on the news today that Timothy Geithner failed to pay his taxes because............he did his taxes on TurboTax and it did not prompt him to pay his “other” taxes he owed.

(1) TurboTax was contacted by FoxNews and basically said “B.S.” You ARE prompted about other taxes that you may owe.

(2) Why would this “great financial wizard” need to use TurboTax in the first place? If thatis the requirement to be Secretart of the Treasury, then I am just as qualified, since I’ve been using TurboTax for the last couple of years.

(3) Let’s not forget the immigration status of his domestic staffer.

(4) As head of the New York Treasury, he watched the Wall Street melddown happen,Citibank, etc., and did NOTHING.

Yet because he’s Obama’s choice, we are not allowed to speak of such matters.

I have a headache...........

“the rulers” operate on one playing field, and the rest of us - - “the ruled” - - operate on a separate, more lowly, more enslaved playing field.

An excellent article. But I would submit there is a third playing field. The one occupied by the deadbeat taxeaters. They contribute nothing but the ever present threat to riot if the goodies given by "the ruled" ever dry up. They are the muscle for the elites.

That was last August. Today, Barack Obama is our President. He has pledged to be the President that helps “everyday Americans.” And he has pledged that his administration will be the most “open” and “transparent” in the history of the U.S. Presidency.

Obama sputs BS!!!

The Seeker: What if We Just Unleashed A Great Evil On the World?

I thought this was a great way to end the week. The Seeker fought to keep the male confessor alive.

As they pushed off the beach in a row boat to the secret island Kayla says:

“What if we just unleashed a great evil on the world?”

Kind of reminds me of the events in Washington this last week.

I’m afraid the American people cannot recognize Democrat elitism. They think elitism, if they could understand the word, is restricted to “uncaring” Republicans.

These elitists may want to remember this:

“...We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its power in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Obama won by a very slim % point. Many of those people are having buyers remorse now. If he ran again today, after showing his true colors, he would not win the election again. He needs to be reminded who’s boss.

The American People chose to return to supporting elitism and the two separate "playing fiels" by electing Obama. I am against the elitist. Personally, I am the kind of person who doesn't even have to try to p*ss an elitist off. By the 2012 comes around, I hope Americans have enough sense to tell the elitist to shove it.

An interesting story. My 9 year old goes to Kumon and there is another woman who takes her son there as well. She is from Maryland (DC area) and her husband is an executive with a major company. She has mentioned that she would move back to the East Coast in a heart beat. One other lady that takes her kids there is on the right side. She and I were talking and I was bad mouthing the new D.H.S. Secretary - former AZ Governor Napilitano especially her ridiculous speed camera program and I remarked that states will be required to put cameras on the highways. Ms. Maryland got her p@nties in a wad and invited herself to the conversation and said that she voted for Obama and mentioned he knew what was best for everyone and shouldn't be criticized.

Exactly. Not only do we have the example of Taxcheatin' Tim, we have similar examples of this phenomenon in others.

For example: Lee Hamilton, Co-Chair of the 9-11 Commission and permanent member of the Lords of Washington.

Look at Hamilton's response to Sandy Berger's crimes:
Berger, who repeatedly stole classified documents, stuffed them into his clothes and stashed them at a construction site. This would get an enlisted man in Military Intelligence 5 years in Leavenworth. What does Berger get from Hamilton? He serves on Berger's Stonebridge International "Board of Reference", testifying as to the great character of of SandyPants.

Look at Hilda Solis, Secretary-Designate at Labor, who simply refuses to answer questions about the Obama plan to deprive workers of the secret ballot (imagine a Republican getting away with that!). Fortunately for Obama and Hilda, there are no real journalists in Washington, a only worshippers with press credentials. So nobody complains, because nobody knows.
