Does anyone else find it a little unsettling (and feeling like quite a bit more than coincidental) that three of President Obama's nominees in a row have had issues with not paying taxes? Not to mention completely unfair. My dad sent me this editorial cartoon about it.
On another note, I quite liked Jon Stewart's proposition on The Daily Show sometime last week that instead of bailing out companies, the government should give everyone money to pay off their consumer debt, because it would take care of the individual debt AND bail out the companies at the same time. (There are probably a million reasons it wouldn't be feasible, but I can think of plenty for why it's not a good idea to just dole out money to the companies either. And right now, I care more about my personal financial crisis than that of the greedy CEOs who got us all into this in the first place.)
