Apparently it is a common theme for lawmakers to not pay any attention to the taxcodes they vote on. First it was a number of Obama appointees, as Citizen Grey reported here. But now the news is coming out of Georgia, too. One in ten Georgian lawmakers is a repeated tax offender, and the taxpayers are getting quite angry. Pile this most recent event onto the anger that is being created by the bailouts, stimulus, and the crappy economy–and you’ve got a recipe for middle-class revolt.

Let us hope this 1-in-10 number does not hold nationally, I can only imagine how much money is owed by all 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, 50 Governors, and the tens of thousands of other Federal, State, and Local officials. Why are these men not in jail? If I do not pay my taxes, I will be hauled off to jail–but these men are protected by autonomy and even allowed to be re-elected to public office!
