WAYS AND MEANS VOTES TO SCHMUCK IOWA TAXPAYERS
April 03, 2007
The Iowa House Ways and Means Committee yesterday approved the Governor's tax amnesty bill yesterday. HSB 298 would give Iowans two months to come clean on taxes without penalties and with only half the usual interest.
This, of course, is bad faith. Those of us who have paid our taxes, and those who got behind and had to scrimp and save to pay full penalties and interest, get treated like schmucks in order to give the legislature a temporary cash boost. This only encourages the temptation to cheat in anticipation of an amnesty.
