...Unlike half of Obama's cabinet, like Tim Geithner, who intentionally break the rules while insisting everybody else (except their pals) follow the rules.
Tim Geithner's tax fraud is not a generalization, Cap. Do we have to argue about what "is" is?Cap'n Cat wrote:native wrote:

Conk generalizations, your only strong suit, Mort.

Cap, considering the complexity of the tax code, I am willing to concede your point and call Geithner's erroneous tax returns a mistake, as opposed to fraud.Cap'n Cat wrote:native wrote:

If it was fraud, it'd be big news. It ain't, so it's apparitions floating around in yours and other Conks' heads. You're nothing more than a Conk shill, native. You're like your candidates - quick with the hate and evil, nonexistent on substance.

But in my world, a $34,000 "mistake" is substantive! ...especially for the senior cabinet executive in charge of the IRS.
No, Geithner was not up front about his erroneous tax return. He "discovered" the "mistakes" for tax years 2003-04 when he was audited for 2001-02. Only later, when he knew he would be going through the nomination process, did he correct 2003-04.Cap'n Cat wrote:native wrote:

The guy's up front about it and has corrected it. Spend some time going through Cheney and Haliburton paperwork.

It's just me and native. Plus, I haven't taken my meds today.

So, I doubt very much you really dig me...
Cap, I don't know a single soul more smug and know-it-all than you, not just on this board, but among thousands of family, friends, associates and acquaintances.Cap'n Cat wrote:Col Hogan wrote:

Yeah, I can see how you'd believe that, but, you gotta look at yourself from the outside sometimes. I know I'm an azzhole all too often, but I'm not a smug know-it-all like some. And, sorry, but I don't think you deal with me or some others honestly, either. If you did, you wouldn't exaggerate the way you do and be serious about it.

I was thinking that about an hour ago.

There are dozens of posters right, left and center who have attempted to engage you in good faith civil discourse to no avail.
