Geithner Apologizes for Not Paying Taxes- AP
Treasury Secretary-designate Tim Geithner says he was careless in failing to pay $34,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes earlier this decade and has apologized to Congress. Although the tax disclosures provided a bump in Geithner's confirmation process, he appeared to have wide support from both parties.

Is anyone else bothered by this. Obviously, both parties have no problem with it.:shrug:

Yeah I have a big problem with it. It is the height of arrogance to me that you can forgo paying 34K in taxes and then be confirmed to head the IRS which falls under Treasury. I know he apologized and paid the taxes but I doubt you and I would receive such kind treatment.
