Semper Gratus!

I could not find an email address for Rep. John Carter (R-31st District Texas) so I’m posting the contents of the letter I wanted to send him.

Dear Rep. Carter,

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Ahem, … I mean, I really appreciate you for introducing this bill, HR 735 “The Rangel Rule”. I’m not one of your constituents, but I would like to express my deep thanks to you for standing up for law abiding, tax paying citizens all over this country.

I am one of those tax payers that has never been in trouble with the IRS because I play by the rules. I pay and pay and pay and complain about it but it would never occur to me to break the law and expect to get away with it.

I am enraged that the man who was chosen to oversee the IRS, Timothy Geithner, is himself a flagrant tax cheat!!! “Simple mistake” my eye! And going after Charlie Rangel for any number of hypocrisies is always fun.

I would like to suggest that you add a provision to your bill to allow all taxpaying citizens the ability to take a 4-year tax holiday. We would be required to make up the payments at the end of the holiday, but would not have to pay any penalties or interest as your bill states. This would be a much better stimulus to the economy than the pork laden HR1 bill (that you properly voted against).

Thank you again from a conservative, overtaxed American,
