From Rep. John Carter of Tx (Republican):

“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.

Rep Carter needs to add Tom Daschle’s name to the bill. From Pat Dollard via Politico:

Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle paid $100,000 in back taxes after failing to report his use of a limo and driver to the IRS – throwing a stumbling block into his nomination as Barack Obama’s health and human services secretary.

Daschle used a Cadillac and driver while as a consultant to a New York City private equity firm, InterMedia Advisors, and did not report the service on his income tax.

Another tax evading Democrat! According to Joe Biden, it’s patriotic to pay taxes. Not a surprise there are all these unpatriotic Democrats. Don’t be too surprised if Daschle’s nomination slides right by Republicans, I’m sure that Daschle is the ONLY one qualified for this position and we’ve got to move quickly to get socialized healthcare foisted on Americans.

Just remember American taxpayers, paying taxes is only for the little people. Not all those important people that the Obami wants as his cabinet secretaries. The law is only for “the little people”.

Update: There’s more on Daschle besides just the nonpayment of taxes on a car and driver.

Michelle Malkin: With the unreported income from the use of a car service in the amounts of $73,031 in 2005, $89,129 in 2006 and $93,096 in 2007; the unreported consulting income of $83,333 in 2007; and the adjusted reductions in charitable contributions, Daschle adds a total of $353,552 in additional income and reduced donations, meaning an additional tax payment of $128,203, in addition to $11,964 in interest.

There’s also unreported travel from the non-profit Educap (student loan provider).

I’m sure this will be all just be a simple oversight that ANYONE would make. And the 10 Republicans will just step in line to vote for another Democrat tax dodger. Let’s check with those Republicans to see what they have to say:
Corker (R-TN), Cornyn (R-TX), Crapo (R-ID), Ensign (R-NV), Graham (R-SC), Gregg (R-NH), Hatch (R-UT), Shelby (R-AL), Snowe (R-ME), Voinovich (R-OH).

btw – The Senate is having a closed door meeting on this? I didn’t know they could have ‘private’ Senate sessions without the public having access. All a part of the new tranparency of the Obami and Democrat policy.
