Its only fair – from NRO’s The Corner:
Rep. John Carter, a Texas Republican, sent out a press release earlier today about his innovative new bill:
“Rangel Rule”
All U.S. taxpayers would enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, if a bill introduced today by Congressman John Carter (R-TX) becomes law.
Carter, a former longtime Texas judge, today introduced the Rangel Rule Act of 2009, HR 735, which would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from charging penalties and interest on back taxes against U.S. citizens. Under the proposed law, any taxpayer who wrote “Rangel Rule” on their return when paying back taxes would be immune from penalties and interest.
Liberals do consider themselves above the laws – heck, above the rules of basic decency, for that matter (as in the way they slandered President Bush for 8 years and now get upset when conservatives offer even mild criticism of The One). But we really can’t have that. Of course, with liberals in charge it will be impossible to bring liberals to justice (anyone out there really think that Obama’s Justice Department will go after Rangel?) – so, we bring justice to the people, instead…just allow them to skate as easily as liberals do.
That this will result in a massive drop-off in government revenues is just one of those things we’ll have to put up with, since we want to be fair about things. Unless, that is, liberals want to start holding their own side accountable?
