back taxes
what's with all the obama nominees owing back taxes? obama did promise more transparency in government. maybe part of delivering that is to require his people to disclose their taxes. which you can bet will be gone over with a fine-toothed comb. i wonder how many nominees of former presidents would have discovered they owed back taxes. not likely to ever find out. taxes are a pretty complicated business. even when they're easy. which is most people. things get fun real fast when you're part of business deals, make stock trades, and employ household help. etc. hell, i can't say with any degree of certainty that i don't owe back taxes. i tried to follow the rules. but man, turbotax asks me some questions that might as well be in a different language. heh. they should have a button for, i don't know what that means so it can't possibly apply.
