[Vision2020] Elimination of IRS Penalties

[Donovan Arnold]

Andreas,

When did politicians start making "an attempt at actual, serious policymaking"?

I would be all for throwing out all the corrupt politicians but who would run the country with nobody in office?

Best Regards,

Donovan

Doug --

Could you explain to me how this is an attempt at actual, serious policymaking, rather than a dumb political stunt meant to highlight an opposition political scandal?

>From Congressman John Carter, Texas:

Washington, Jan 28 -

IRS Penalties and Interest Eliminated for All U.S. Taxpayers under new

"Rangel Rule" Legislation



(WASHINGTON, DC) – 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.



"We must show the American people that Congress is following the same

law, and the same legal process as we expect them to follow," says

Carter.  "That has not been done in the ongoing case against Chairman

Rangel, nor in the instance of our new Treasury Secretary Timothy

Geithner.  If we don't hold our highest elected officials to the same

standards as regular working folks, we owe it to our constituents to

change those standards so everyone is abiding by the same law.

Americans believe in blind justice, which shows no favoritism to the

wealthy or powerful."



Carter also said the tax law change will provide good economic

stimulus benefits, as it would free many taxpayers from massive debts

to the IRS, restoring those funds to the free market to help create

jobs.
