A Late-in-Life Beating

The Brown Bomber’s demolition of German Max Schmeling signaled to Hitler that world domination would not come as easily as he believed. The heavyweight champ further supported the cause of freedom during World War II by donating purses to military relief funds. The IRS showed its appreciation by years later claiming the charitable bouts counted as earnings and demanding back taxes, forcing him to stay in the ring when he should have retired ("I had to keep working to pay taxes, but the more I worked, the less I had.")

Another Obama Nominee Has Tax Issues
March 31, 2009

Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama's nominee to become Health and Human Services secretary, said in a letter obtained by the Associated Press that she made "unintentional errors" on her taxes and has corrected her returns from three different years.

In the letter, which was sent to senators and dated today, Sebelius wrote that she had made changes related to charitable contributions, business expenses and the sale of a home, according to the AP.

The wire service reports that she and her husband paid just over $7,000 in back taxes, along with $878 in interest, for the years 2005-2007.

Tom Daschle, the president's first HHS nominee, previously withdrew from consideration over tax issues, as did chief performance officer nominee Nancy Killefer.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, US Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, meanwhile, were confirmed despite issues related to their taxes.
