Geithner, Taxed

Some questions nobody is asking Geithner:

1. You were at the helm of the financial capital of the world during the decade that led to the biggest banking system failure since the Great Depression. What did you do, or fail to do, that allowed this fiasco to occur on your watch?

2. What in your experience as Chairman of the New York Fed demonstrates your qualifications to be given trillions of taxpayer dollars to distribute fairly and openly, for the benefit of the public? How has the public benefitted from your tenure in the NY Fed?

3. The chiefs of JPM and Citi are directors of the NY Fed. Their banks got bailed out. Bear Stearns and Lehman were not represented on your Board. They were allowed to fail, and JPM and Citi were able to buy up their assets for a song. How do you convince the American taxpayer there was no insider collusion in these decisions?

4. Why did you only pay taxes for the two years that got audited, and not for the other two years that obviously had the same tax liability? Your financial advisor or tax preparer didn't know you were cheating on your taxes? Did you use the same tax preparer as Bernie Madoff?
