No Tax Return Left Unread
Our noble warriors of Folly, better known as the US Congress, this past week past a $338 billion dollar spending bill, that included 1,000 pages of grandiose waste, graft, and fraud. And as an added bonus, amidst the pork, they included a truly patriotic provision: the committee chairman of both the Senate and the House shall be able to view the tax return of any citizen.
With this knowledge, they'd be able to investigate the enemies of our country: liberals, activist judges, and freethinkers. They could have used this information against one who might speak up against our agenda.
If only McCarthy had such powers.
Unfortunately, some bleeding-heart good-doers discovered the provision at the last second and had it nixed. But fear not, they'll be plenty more massive spending bills in the coming years in which we can hide this provision again. And as the bills keep getting longer and longer, sooner or later the pinkos will tire of reading them.
