This is a revenue enhancement.

Though, I doubt that only the people being nominated have tax "errors", which leads me to suspect this tax neglect is a wide-spread problem of people in office. If that's the case, then it's only recent changes (possibly Washington's new "transparency" position) that are making this information public, because I cannot imagine that previous cabinet appointees were completely clean and by-the-book. They were probably all just as guilty of tax issues as this set of nominees, it just wasn't ever given to the public. This makes me kind of sad, but then again, Washington has always been corrupt in one way or another - just like politics in general. I comepletely agree with Adrienne.
