There was a time when President Barack Obama would choose somebody for a high lelve job and the democrat did not pay taxes or owed back taxes. The list became laughable turns out the crack vetting job done by the White House team is still turing up tax cheats The White house nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs, Lael Brainard, did not disclose all of her late tax payments until she was repeatedly prodded by Senate investigators. Brainard was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007 on property in Northern Virginia, according to the report by the Senate Finance Committee staff. There is also a challenge of the accuracy of a deduction Brainard claimed for running an office from her home. The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return, though she declined to adjust returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007. The administration is letting the media know that because the amount is small, Brainard paid $121.75 in interest and $1,279.34 in penalties on late real estate tax payments. That we should not be alarmed, we still wonder why these tax and spend liberal democrats have no problem raising our taxes but have trouble paying their own. She was blatantly trying to avoid this situation as the committee staff had to submit 10 sets of questions to Brainard before getting complete information about the late payments. This also calls into question lying on federal papers as the Finance Committee had her fill out a routine questionnaire that asked whether she had made any late tax payments in the past 10 years. Her initial response did not include all the late payments. This is also an all in the family thing as she is married to Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, is the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia. It is goo to know President Obama has put a tax cheat in charge of overseeing American policies on issues including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and international tax treaties. It just becomes so hard to believe in anybody this administration touts as worthy of any position.
