No Amnesty for Tax Cheats!

What galls me the most is that these morons in Congress and that moron W want to give illegals who have evaded tax laws special immunity from prosecutiion.

If I did not pay taxes for years, used forged documents and someone else's social security number, I would go to jail, they would put a tax lien on my house and bank account, and make my life a living hell.

But, W hates taxes--unless owed by an American citizen--so much that he got the back-tax and penalty provision pulled from the bill:

The Bush administration insisted on a little-noticed change in the bipartisan Senate immigration bill that would enable 12 million undocumented residents to avoid paying back taxes or associated fines to the Internal Revenue Service, officials said.

A provision requiring payment of back taxes had been in the initial version of a bill proposed by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat. But the administration called for the provision to be removed due to concern that it would be too difficult to figure out which illegal immigrants owed back taxes.

That is an absolute travesty, and any American citizen or legal resident who has dutifully paid taxes over their lifetime, knowing that they would suffer harsh penalties if they did not do so, should be appalled that these tax cheats are being given blanket amnesty, and would not have to pay the same price as you or I if we had done the same thing.

How could any American taxpayer support having less legal protection than illegal immigrants?

Shame on you, W, and shame on every Congressman/woman who voted for this amnesty bill!
