I'm still waiting for the most eithical House of Representatives in history and the most ethical Presidency. Nancy Pelosi promised that the ethics investigation into Charles Rangel's tax problems would end in early January. Actually, according to an article at Townhall.com, the investigation into Charles Rangel's activities has been expanded to include whether he granted special tax favors to an oil company in exchange for a million dollar college center bearing his name.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch--according to Breitbart.com, Timothy Geithner's tax problems have slowed his confirmation process, but Senators of both parties do not see the issue as a problem in his confirmation. Have we lost our minds?
The two people most responsible for tax laws and tax policy in America both have had problems paying their taxes. This is amazing. What crimes do I have to commit to be considered for public office?
If I believed that Charles Rangel and Timothy Geithner (because of their own tax problems) would be totally intent upon simplifying the tax code so that a third grader could successfully file their taxes, I would be thrilled to have both of them in charge of tax policy. However, that belief is off somewhere with my belief in the Easter bunny.
It seems to me that people used to be punished for income tax evasion, but with the current Democrats it has become resume enhancement!
