So it's an "honest mistake" if you "forget" to pay your taxes for 4 freakin years?
If any of us hard-working stiffs did that, we wouldn't be described as having made an"honest mistake", but rather we were defrauding the system and stealing from the government and would be hit with fines, jail time or both with no qustions asked.

Then there was the issue with his immigrant housekeeper, whose immigration paperwork wasn't kept up to date.

You seriously want this idiot in charge of the Treasury?

Keep in mind that had this been a Rep. nominee, the story would have been front page news, and the nominee would be raked over the coals for making an "honest mistake".

This guy should pay the same price as anyone else: fine. jail or both!
