T: Is for Taxes leading to more!

As I have stated before, I voted for President Obama, so that gives me the right to question and there is a lot here. First their was Daschle but he did the right thing and stepped down. Now Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, the current Obama nominee to be HHS secretary has admitted to some mistakes on her tax returns and paid $8,000 in taxes and penalties for errors on her 2005-2007 returns. Ok I can understand 1 year but 2? If she weren't nominated would we have heard of a 3rd? On the surface it not big deal, but you have to start wondering is it a criteria to owe taxes to be nominated? Just remember Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. In researching if Geithner had paid his taxes, I discovered something interesting. He is part of a group called The Group of 30.
