Best. Law. Ever!

If there is a prize for the coolest, most clever, most awesome Congressman ever, I think Congressman John Carter from Texas ought to be given that award:

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.

This is not a joke!  It hasn't passed yet, but it is an actual proposed law.  You can track it on GovTrack.  Call your Congressman and let them know to support HR 735!

I think I'd rather remind them that the income taxes were never properly ratified in the first place. But, no one wants to talk about that....
