This from the St. Cloud Times about our gal Michele being one of seven Republican House members to vote against a bill that would require the IRS to notify tax payers if there was evidence their identity had been stolen.
Why the hell would anyone vote against that?
But then I read down a bit more in the story: “The bill also would require the IRS to notify low-income workers that they qualify for a tax break known as the Earned Income Tax Credit.”
That, undoubtedly, is the rub. Michele can’t in good conscience vote for any measure that might limit the amount of tax that can be collected from the very people who are rightfully burdened already: the poor who benefit from the EITC.
Thank God Michele is on the job. Otherwise those poor folks who have to worry about the onerous 15 percent capital gains tax might have to pick up the slack.
