Say no to Geithner for treasury secretary

Published 8:42 am Monday, January 26, 2009

Please say no to Tim Geithner for secretary of the treasury. Call your senators today. As a mental health couselor, I cannot in good faith counsel my clients to lie. So also I cannot condone a treasury secretary who lies. He failed to pay his taxes for four years and only paid two when he was caught. Could this really have been an accident? When have you forgotten to pay your taxes? He still owes $12,000 for the two years he still has not paid — and his employer paid him extra money to pay his taxes, so he reportedly stole $24,000. Where would I be if I did that? Is this really careless bookkeeping? Think about what America really stands for and how we should start a new term. Call your senators.
