The Geithner Defense

"You know Senator, maybe if you folks in the legislature didn't make a tax system that is so byzantine and obscure that it defies any reasonable persons ability to comprehend much less comply with, maybe if you did that, then MAYBE I might have figured out that I had a problem with my taxes. It's not like I'm stupid, its not like I didn't have tax lawyers, its not that I didn't TRY to pay my taxes, its that none of my lawyers, my CPA's nor the IRS could come to terms on the final amount. The problem Senator with my taxes and yours sir, is that no two tax lawyers or CPA's can ever make a good guess to what the damn tax laws are at any given time! "

Well. That's what I would have said anyway...
