Hey Obama, Sprio Agnew Resigned From The Vice Presidency For Evading $10,000 In Taxes
To date the known total amount of taxes evaded by Obama cabinet picks (Daschle and Geithner) is $183,000.
Richard Nixon’s first Vice President, Spiro Agnew, resigned from office after pleading nolo contendre to charges of evading $10,000 in taxes. That’s roughly $42,000 in 2009 dollars.
So, why aren’t Daschle and Geithner being called on to resign after admitting to tax evasions of their own?
And by the way, with Daschle’s most recent revelations of shady dealings, we now have three Obama cabinet picks that have fallen under the cloud of scandal: Daschle ($140,000 in unpaid taxes), Geithner ($43,000 in unpaid taxes) and FTC pick Bill Richardson (resigned after evidence of kickbacks received from a New Mexico contractor emerged).
Has any President had more problem with his cabinet picks than Obama? This seems rather unprecedented. And certainly not like change we can believe in.
