An egregious miscarriagement of taxitude

(To shamelessly steal a line from The Simpsons)

Here's an excellent New York Post op-ed that points out the utter hypocrisy of the Messiah championing Charlie Rangel and Tim Geithner as his new Knights of Slaying the Off-Shore Tax-Cheat Dragons, despite Rangel's being engaged in precisely that activity for some years (plus is accused of actually helping a donor keep their sweet offshore loophole), and "Turbo-Tax Tim" also being guilty of evading his fiscal feeding of the Leviathan.

Why is a Big Apple tabloid the only newspaper to point out the obvious? No wonder that industry is withering away.
