Three Treasury Secretaries Laughing It Up Over Income Inequality

They do this in public view, just imagine what they say in private.
Remember Mitt Romney's private country club speech, essentially calling 47% of US citizens dog shit.
These people have no care or respect for the average US citizen, in fact they have nothing but disdain for them.

Yeah, it's going to be really funny when we see them dangling from a lamp post.

It's a sad state of economics affairs when 47% of the population is not paying Federal income taxes because they don't make enough money.
The problem is Romney was blaming the problem on the 47% instead of the system which created this predicament.
It's not favorable from a capitalists perspective that so many are not receiving the "trickle down" that they were guaranteed, it's nothing to be arrogant about like Mitt was in that video.

Hey, was Tax Cheat Timothy Geithner in the Video? You know, the guy who tried to blow off $100,000 in back taxes then gets made secretary of the treasury for the administration that was going to 'make millionaires pay their fair share....'

Yes Geithner is a scum tax cheat. Over several years, Treasury secretary nominee Timothy F. Geithner failed to pay Social Security taxes, even though he was advised by his employer to do so, signed an agreement indicating that he understood that such payments were his responsibility and received extra pay from his employer specifically for that purpose. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/18/AR2009011802070.html
Timothy Franz "Tim" Geithner (/ˈɡaɪtnər/; born August 18, 1961) is an American economic policy maker and central banker who served as the 75th United States Secretary of the Treasury, under President Barack Obama, from 2009 to 2013. He was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 to 2009. He now serves as president of Warburg Pincus, a Wall Street private equity firm.[2]
Romney was right about 47% not paying any income tax (Income tax is not Capitalism-it's a Socialist program so why would Capitalism be blamed?). The IRS should be abolished anyway.

finally, a thread where we can all come together and hate on the wealthy elite/banking interests in harmony. its extra funny, because most of the racism/police brutality/socialism vs capitalism/political candidate/immigration threads have at their core, this issue. the rest is usually fluff that confuses the real issue. income inequality, and the wealthy elite who promote it IS the core issue
