Here's today's news story the Democrats and the Swamp don't want publicized; Rep. John Carter is introducing a bill to give us ordinary taxpayers the same tax breaks that Dem politicians and Obama cabinet members enjoy. From his press release-- "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."

Nice that the Congressman has time on his hands to engage in stupid political stunts. If you work in good faith with the IRS you can avoid penalties; even us ordinary taxpayers; been there.
