Memo to media: tax payment issues are a bipartisan problem. | Media Matters for America
As usual the glass house doesn't seem to bother Republicans when they start hurling stones.
I'm guessing the two publicity whores who spent tax dollars to type up this bill have, as usual, left out members of congress?
