I am appalled with the suggestion that an educated, "most qualified for the job," experienced individual who could 'forget' to pay his taxes, would be considered for the most powerful AND INFLUENTIAL financial position in this country. This nation is in a dreadful financial crisis. What else might he 'forget'?
Is there even one employed person in the whole nation who is not aware of the obligation to pay their taxes?
Yesterday, I had such high hopes, but today, they are dashed. We just don't trust our government - THAT is our nation's problem.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
