Can you imagine if a farmer placed a fox inside a chicken coop to "protect" the chickens? Can you imagine how outrageous it would be to have a porn star greeting families as they enter Disney World? Wouldn't it be insane if someone who failed to pay their taxes was named the Treasury Secretary? Oh wait, we watched that happen and did nothing.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had 10s of thousands of dollars unpaid taxes. He "forgot" to pay his taxes and now he leads the Treasury department. But, we shouldn't be harsh, he is not the only one...

Tom Daschle, President Obama's pick to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, had to bow out when it was disclosed that he had failed to pay $128,000 in back taxes. Nancy Killefer, who was appointed by Obama to scrutinize government spending for the OMB, also had to withdraw her nomination because of tax issues. Also, Obama's designated Trade Representative, Ron Kirk, owes $10,000 in back taxes. (Fox News, Wall Street Journal, News Busters).

On Friday, the House of Representatives passed "Cap and Trade" a 1 trillion dollar energy tax. For the past year, President Obama has maintained that he will NOT raise taxes on 95% of Americans. That was one of Barry Hussien Obama's campaign promises. "Cap and Trade" will cost each household anywhere from $1,100 to $,3000 per year in new energy taxes. Mr. Barack Hussien Obama knows that energy costs will skyrocket as a result of this new tax. (skyrocketing energy or I will bankrupt coal).

President Obama is taxing EVERYONE. He lied about not taxing 95% of Americans. But, we expect to be lied to, don't we? Does anyone care?
