Taxpayer relief: adding the "Rangel Rule" to the Internal Revenue Code
2009-01-29
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 is my new favorite Congresscritter.
If you write 'Dodd Rule' on your return you get a double credit on your mortgage interest deduction ...

#3  I'd rather invoke the "Geithner rule" and simply not pay.

Then you might get labeled as "forgetful". That would probably disqualify you under the new Universal Health Care system.
