Our treasury secretary-elect hasn’t paid his taxes

I applaud Congress for grilling Timothy Geitner over his “mistake” over not paying his self-employment taxes. When Lehman Brothers failed he was the NY Fed Chairman. He stood by, allowed it to happen, and watched the domino effect as the economic crisis really got under way. If regular citizens didn’t pay their taxes or had an employee with illegal alien status there would be massive fines and the threat of jail time. I hope this man is the wunderkind everyone seems to think he is otherwise in terms of our financial system we shouldn’t expect much change.
