Wish I Could Do This

Two Obama Cabinet nominees did not pay all the taxes they owed until nominated to the Cabinet.

• Tom Daschle recently paid $101,943 in back taxes and interest for services received that he did not declare on his taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
  
• Tim Geithner paid $25,970 in overdue taxes in late November, once he was nominated to be the new Treasury Secretary. His nomination has since been confirmed by the Senate.
  

Notice a pattern here?
