Why would he lie about it? He was paying his other taxes. I can see a completely reasonable situation where this could happen. I just don't think he was out to avade taxes. He made a dumb mistake. The kind that would preclude me from hiring him simply based on demonstrated idiocy but nefarious it was not. My biggest problem is that once this was found Obama should have dropped him. If he really is about change he should have dropped him before it was even news. Forget politics. How about getting people who are competent? Bush got railed (rightfully so) for having a incompetent boob in charge when Katrina came around. Well now we are faced with an economic Katrina and we have a guy in charge of the Treasurery (and IRS) who screwed up his taxes royally and his excuse was "Gee man I didn't really pay any attention." Color me just as unimpressed by him as I am aboiut Brown.
