WASHINGTON — The Senate Finance Committee says President Barack Obama's nominee for trade representative owes roughly $10,000 in back federal taxes and has agreed to pay them.
The report says Ron Kirk will file amended returns covering the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.

OMIGOD! I monitor this guy because of his association with the North American Union. I've got an idea for a shovel ready project - tax prison for Obama cabinet members!
Maybe Congress should enact a law saying all cabinet members have to undergo a tax audit before they bless them.
Look at it this way. Without Obama's appointments, we would never known about these crooks. They would have just gone on cheating like everyone in previous administrations.

You guys are chicken hawks just like our past president. Not one of you had the guts to speak up about Palins tax problems! You lurk on the sideline and jump out to stick a jab at the other side. Typical conservatives. Talk big but everyone outside of your circles knows that your knees are shaking in hopes that Obama is a failure. You know that his success would be the final nail in your already shut ideoloigical coffin.So you try to attack his every move and stand silent whn those on your side have the same problems. you might think your good ole boys but the rest of us can see your s**t stained pantys!
The fact of the matter is - this guy received money for speaking engagements, and instead of accepting the cash, donated it to a college. He didn't claim that on his taxes. It's not like he was hoarding away cash manically laughing while sticking it to the man... he just didn't claim something he ended up donating as a charitable donation. Some of the other people were WAY out of line - but this looks like a simple error, not a cheat.
