Wouldn’t the MSM have a field day with this if the GOP had done it.

” he was concerned that the legislation would kick workers to the curb before it could be determined if the IRS had erred. “

I think if we replace the word “worker” with “Senator” it would make more sense.

if it is case of innocent til proven guilty then why do people have such an issue here?

In 2008 alone, 447 House employees and 231 Senate workers didn’t pay their taxes, according to figures from the IRS, Office of Personnel Management, and Department of Defense. Federal employees in the U.S. House of Representatives owed more than $5.8 million in unpaid taxes in 2008. The Senate employees owe more than $2.46 million, according to figures.

Gotta agree with him on this one, though the IRS rarely loses.

I am so sick of the corruption in Washington! In fact corruption in all states. We are in a spiritual war, more treacherous than a shoioting war! And in a spiriatual war our armour is given us by God. We must cast out the spirit of corruption in all levels of government and condemn it to the firey pit, never to return again in the name of Jesus! And we should not stop until honesty and tradtional ethics prevail!

Hey I have an idea. Let’s investigate, indict, prosecute and imprison the cheats anyway, gee why do we need a “bill” to do the right thing?
