Good Grief! Are Any High Level Democrats Paying Taxes?

According to Breitbart.com, Nancy Killefer has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government because she failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help,  She owed $298 in unpaid taxes, $48.69 in interest and $600 in penalties.   On March 7, 2005, the D.C. Department of Employment Services placed a tax lien on her home, alleging that just three years after she left the high-powered Treasury post she began to fail to pay unemployment compensation tax for a household employee. She also failed to make the required quarterly payments for a year and half, whereupon a lien for $946.69 was placed on her home

How come she is withdrawn for a relatively small amount of money and Tom Daschle will probably be confirmed for a much larger amount of tax dodging.  Why the double standard?
