So our new president is having problems filling his Cabinet posts with people who were expected to be honest and forthcoming in regards to what all Americans are expected to be honest and forthcoming about: Paying their taxes.

But here's the rub - those nominees were merely echoing in practical terms the campaign slogan that became their mantra.

If you were to ask them if they thought they could get away with dodging their responsibilities that we all face - and in the process thumbing their collective noses at the American tax payers - I am sure they would have cried in unison: Yes we can!
