The "Rangel Rule" [Ramesh Ponnuru]

Rep. John Carter, a Texas Republican, sent out a press release earlier today about his innovative new bill:

"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.

I could have used that last year.  I had to clean out my 401k and the penalties got assessed this year. Rangel Rule on $6000 could have meant quite a few more dinners of more than just salsa and rice.

I love the idea.

Especially since I am one that doesn't think the 16th Amendment was properly ratified to begin with.

Works for me.

I'm sure the Democrats, liberals and leftists will see the fairness of this. NOT.
