What has 90% of the comments got to do with the subject matter? Most of it seems to be residual anger and racism that a black man (someone actually made the point of mentioning KID in block letters several times) is in power? Only 2 weeks into office and we already have those who would rather the country sinks than Obama succeeds? Wow... and i thought mature people posted here. What a mistake. the amount of vitriol on these boards is just unbelievable. What has 90% of the comments got to do with the subject matter?

Let's invade Pah-kee-stawn, bankrupt the coal industry, do nothing about illegals, tax businesses to fund a bunch of makework gubmint "jobs", and saddle our kids with billions of $ in debt! Now THAT sounds like a plan! Hey! I know what’s right for this country!

Thats why your people got kicked to the curb because you don't know whats right for the country.

For crying out loud, if the tax code is too complicated for the treasury secretary (whether true in fact or not), is there not something grossly wrong with this picture? Tax return on a post card. End of excuses. And also the end of an enormous industry (maybe they can hire all of those tax accountants and lawyers to fix the roads).

These things they are guilty of are things that have been well-known for years, ever since some previous Cabinet appointments blew up. Everyone now knows what you have to do to employ a nanny (everyone who would employ one). Daschle, btw, knew exactly what he was doing. He had specific info on it from both his employer and his accountant. There was no mistake, nor lack of understanding. These guys are just elitist crooks, a la Leona Helmsley. #116 Self-hating Boomer – Interesting point, but a bit off.
