I do not really care if anyone pays their taxes. Taxes should be illegal, it is so wrong that our citizens are having our hard earned money stolen by
our government to give to crooks and liars in the first place.
But what IS a bit, not surprising but actually expected, is his padding of his cabinet with Clinton cronies.
That said, I like the Clintons, Hill especially. And when Bill was President, I heard rumors Hill and Tom were close. Anyway, I see Clinton
handwriting all over this appointment. Personally, and this is just my own specualtion, I think Obama and Hill had some kind of deal, where she
dropped out gracefully and let him have the glory, if he appoints her chosen people to positions. (Biden is a Clinton cronie too.) Here are some
random snippets that support a Clinton hand in the nomination, along with some information about Tom.

"She has earned praise for her performance in the Senate, and the Senate majority leader, Tom Daschle, recently appointed her head of the Senate
Democratic Steering Committee, a position that gives Mrs Clinton a key role in developing the party's political agenda."

"Hillary's win could be a foothold for her husband in a city he can't bear to leave behind. "Her winning is his platform to come back to town,"
says one former aide. The ex-president won't be allowed in the Senate cloakroom, but, says Sen. Tom Daschle, "we fully expect he'll be visible and
involved." Politics has always been a family affair for the Clintons. But as the president likes to say, for the first 26 years it was his turn. Now
it's hers."

"She told me in a 2001 interview—around the time a supermarket tabloid floated a bizarre story that tried to link her romantically with former
Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle—that she was merely following motherly advice."

" Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., placed holds on Mr. Schregardus after Ms. Boxer and three other
committee Democrats — Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Jon Corzine of New Jersey, voted against the nomination. "

"You know who else was instrumental in blocking the passage of the Big Brother Patriot Act? Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy.
Patrick Leahy, who was infamously told by Dick Cheney to "go #" himself, with Tom Daschle were the ONLY two politicians to be sent anthrax in the
2001 anthrax attacks.
The anthrax that was proven to be from our own military. "

"WASHINGTON -- Hoping to strike back at Republicans who mounted a yearslong effort to oust him from office, former Senate Democratic leader Tom
Daschle is helping raise millions of dollars to form a new political advocacy group aimed at creating a clearinghouse of opposition-research
information against all Senate Republicans."
Ironic....

"7) FNC's Trace Gallagher confirmed that Tom Daschle is correct about how a $25,000 waitress would get no tax cut, "but that's because she's not
paying any federal taxes -- not a nickel." The rich would receive a big cut, but "that's because they're being leaned on the most by the federal
government."
Like I said not surprising. I am beginning to wonder how many of his appointments are former Clintonites. Some change.
. But picking corrupt and crooked politicians to run the government is not change.
