Priceless: Tax cheat Treasury Secretary to chase after…tax cheats

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 3, 2009 02:15 PM

Trying. To. Type. Between. Snorts.

Sides. Splitting.

Fresh from the AP wire:

President Barack Obama’s Treasury secretary says the administration will unveil a series of rules and measures in the coming months to limit the ability of international companies to avoid U.S. taxes.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday that Obama will propose legislation to limit U.S. companies’ ability to shelter foreign earnings from taxation in the U.S. He also said the administration will try to limit wealthy Americans’ ability to use tax havens to avoid taxation.

He did not immediately provide details.

No, of course not. “Immediately providing details” is not something Obama Cabinet members do.

Silly.

    Dear Mr. Tax Cheat Secretary:

    Think about this idea. If you went across the hall and investigated all the tax cheaters in Congress instead of jetting off to try to find International tax cheaters you could further O’s “Green” agenda and also explain the green on your face. You’d probably find more revenue too.

    The man didn’t say he was going after “International tax cheaters”! He said he wanted to change the rules (as usual the “change” was not defined) to make more international revenues taxable in the US.

    As patriotic Americans we should encourage the idiot to go after all significant “tax cheaters”. It would make him a hypocrite, but it is his job to enforce the tax laws. He should not have the job in the first place, but he should at least try to do it since we are paying him.
