BBCW Wacky Liberal of the Year 2012: #2 Timothy Geithner

Be a good citizen. Pay your taxes. Pay lots of taxes. Don't question any of your taxes and trust your federal overlord to come up with what they believe is a fair tax rate.

Yet, our founding fathers fought a revolution over what they felt was an oppressive tax rate, which was far less than what we are paying today. Actually, it was far less than what their fellow Brits were paying across the pond under King George's command.

This year, Timothy Geithner didn't have any problems with confusing rights with privileges and reminding us once again we really aren't free in America.

"That’s the kind of balance you need," said Geithner. "Why is that the case? Because if you don't try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to -- the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security."

In 2012, you must purchase your privilege of being an American through higher taxes according to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner....

It should be noted Geithner evaded his duty that ensured his privileges before becoming Treasury Secretary. Remember, Tim Geithner is a tax cheat.

He is worthy of the #2 spot on the list as he maintains the status quo of the Federal Reserve, a small group of private bankers who control the economy, who, by they way, have helped make your weekly pay check worth less and less through what they call quantitative easing.
