Another tax cheat

It looks like there’s going to be another tax cheat in President Obama’s administration. This might be a prerequisite for inclusion in the Obama team. Senator Dashchle inadvertently, and accidentally forgot to pay, $128,000 in taxes. It was a good-faith mistake, a slight oversight.
Senator Daschle is slated to be President Obama’s secretary of Health and Human Services. He will help design and implement the administration’s health care reforms.

Treasury Secretary Geitner

Tax cheat Timothy Geitner was sworn in as Treasury Secretary by Vice President Biden on January 26th. In his acceptance speech, Secretary Geitner promised to restore integrity in the Treasury Department. Well, at least he has a sense of humor.

Timothy Geithner is a crook

Timothy Geithner is a crook, and he is the dumbest guy in finance. Timothy Geithner failed to pay four years of FICA taxes. When the IRS audited two years of his returns, he finally paid them. He did not have the brains to realize that the IRS can go back as many years as it wants and audit tax returns when it suspects fraud. So he got caught again.

If this guy is appointed Treasury Secretary, as it appears he will be, he will be in charge of your money and my money and the IRS. Do you want a crook in charge of your money? Do you want a dummy in charge of your money? What about the poor IRS agents who audited his tax returns? I guess they will have to join the ranks of 11.1 million now unemployed.

Stimulus Package

I heard on the radio what I think will help the economy get back on its feet.

Congress should provide tax credits to homeowners who insulate their homes, buy energy efficient windows or upgrade their heating and cooling systems. The same could apply to business owners.

A tax credit would immediately stimulate the purchase of these products, which are mostly made in the United States. It would also stimulate work for the U. S. based home building industry, which is greatly depressed. And it would reduce carbon emissions from the burning of oil and coal needed to heat the homes.

Dear Mayor Susan Narvaiz

I am writing about the incident on Interstate 35 in August of 2008, where San Marcos Police Officer Paul Stephens stopped Michael Gonzalez for speeding. Mr. Gonzales was trying to get his choking dog to a vet. In my thirty-two years in emergency service in New York City, I have never seen a more callous, and inept response to an emergency than what took place after that stop. Mr. Gonzalez was stopped; he was no longer a danger to the public and was obviously distressed. Officer Stephen’s should have recognized the new emergency that presented itself and took action to save the dog’s life, not callously demand to see Mr. Gonzales’ license and take fifteen to twenty minutes to issue a summons, or to do whatever it was he did. In the meantime the dog choked to death.

In an emergence, the paperwork can wait.

In my opinion, Officer Stephens displayed a unique appreciation for human feelings that is disgraceful and an inability to properly respond to an emergency. He is lucky to be in the City of San Marcos Police Department because, if he were under my command, he would have received more than the reprimand that Chief Howard Williams gave him, a lot more.


Yours truly,



Joseph J. Hehir
