6th Obama nominee with tax problems

Maybe this is why the liberals are always bitching about the rich not paying their fair share because they don't pay their taxes.

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who testified before Congress on Tuesday on her nomination for Health secretary, has paid nearly $8,000 in back taxes after discovering "unintentional errors" in her tax returns. Sebelius is the second nominee for the Cabinet post; former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle previously withdrew from consideration due to tax issues.

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), chair of the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement on Wednesday that Sebelius had informed him in a letter the same day that "minor, unintentional errors" were discovered by an accountant reviewing her 2005, 2006 and 2007 returns. These errors were "immediately corrected through amended returns."

Baucus, whose committee has jurisdiction over Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP and other health entitlement programs, did not reveal details of the letter. According to Bloomberg, the governor paid $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest for errors that included the absence of acknowledgment letters for three of the 49 charitable donations she made.

The letter was sent the same day Sebelius testified before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in her first confirmation hearing. She testifies in a second hearing on Thursday, before Baucus' panel.

The 60-year-old Sebelius was nominated by President Barack Obama early March, a month after Daschle pulled out for failing to pay $128,000 in taxes.

Like I've said before. Rules don't apply to the elite liberals. They want everyone else to pay a higher share of the taxes but they don't want to pay any themselves.

The people wanted change...this is what they wanted.
