Obama and the Treasury

While I have to applaud Obama for several of his efforts in the first few days of taking office...I have to wonder about the wisdom of appointing someone to watch our money that, appearantly, cannot take care of his own money...
He should be brought up on charges of Tax Evasion for the $35000 that he owes...at a minimum, he should have to take care of all his back owed taxes PRIOR to his taking the post appointed, and the IRS might should do a detailed AUDIT of his finances.
What is this country coming to?
Remember the Mustang Ranch!

Senate panel approves Geithner for treasury post

To make matters worse, it isn't just Geithner...
Tom Daschle is now up for $128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest.
Are these the people we really want to trust in our Government to deal with our money?
Are these the honest and trustworthy individuals in charge?

"Daschle faces new questions from lawmakers"

And we must now question...if Daschle and Geithner? WHO ELSE?

And on a side note, the IRS says 1 in 10 people cheat on their taxes (and it looks like many of them are in the Government).
I don't see this as right, as another survey the IRS published stated that 10 thousand more people every year are not filing taxes. That would mean that there are (literally) hundreds of thousands of people NOT paying taxes...ok, this might be the 1 in 10 number, but it is growing 3 times faster than our population...

Survey: Tax cheats don't play well among Americans

UPDATE:
#3 - Obama performance chief Killefer out, citing taxes

The biggest difference here is, Nancy Killefer has, at least, dropped out. She will not be accepting the post (performance chief).

Will these 3 people (Daschle, Geithner, and Killefer) be prosecuted for their tax evasion?
