Audit the bastards every year. They have proven they are not to be trusted.

I'm sick and tired of seeing all of these god damned tax cheats in and out of office. These bastards are supposed to be examples for the rest of us. The surface hasn't been scratched and look at all of the dirt that has fallen to the floor.

Fuck Geither, Daschle, Rangel etc. And Fuck their "brethern" who turn the other cheek and blame it on human error. In the Obamma appointees case it only seems these errors are noticed upon vetting.

So I have a simple proposal. Every member of Congress, every Administration official and high level appointee should be required to submit to an automatic "transparency audit" every year and for 5 years after leaving their position.

Of course the country club fuckheads will never agree to sanction themselves to this. They are above the law.

1. And if they have family members working as lobbyists -- AUDIT THEM TOO.

FULL audits on all of them.

2. Audit spouses regardless

Do you have any idea how many people are company board of directors simply because they are married to a Congress critter? Its fucking disguting. Audit them too.

These audits need to go beyond simple math checking. They also should be fed through algorthims to see if they have conflict of interest with legislation.

3. Anyone with power, money, and education is going to cheat taxes

That's just the way it is. The only ones who pay the full amount are those who don't know how to work the system.
