Obama Should Consider Overhauling Tax Code

Hilda Solis's husband just now paid back tax liens, $6,400, on his business. Though Solis shouldn't be penalized for her husband's error, republicans aren't fond of Solis because she's an advocate for workers, so they'll make a big to-do about it.
It seems, many so-called upstanding people don't pay their taxes. Just us dumb working folk. I didn't know you could get away with not paying your taxes without getting hauled off to jail. So maybe this is a sign that the tax system needs to be simplified and overhauled.
Gibbs says Solis is still in the running:

USA Today: At a news conference, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said of Solis: "I read the story in USA TODAY and it quotes somebody who works here. Obviously we know about the story. We reviewed her tax returns and her tax returns are in order. Her husband had an issue."

"She's not a partner in that business," Gibbs said. "We're not going to penalize her for her husband's business mistakes."

Gibbs said he thought Solis' husband, Sam Sayyad, paid the liens because he owed the taxes, not because of White House pressure. "The White House believes that if you owe taxes you should pay them," Gibbs added.
