"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.

Or as Ann Coulter said this morning, "Republicans aren't in power now so they can be principled again.' She meant this as a defense of Republicans, but I don't think so.

Anyhoo, this kind of stuff would be funny and compelling if Republicans weren't a bunch of amoral con-men who use principled anti-government positions as a means of attaining power, and once they attain power they repeatedly show themselves to be the same bunch of corrupt neo-socialist douchebags as the democrats.
