Forget trying to pass such a bill in the House of Representatives. Forget even trying to vote such a bill out of the House Ways and Means Committee. No such bill would even find a sponsor!"<br /><br />With all due respect to Charles, I think this analysis ignores the fact that the Tea Partyers are not politicians in the traditional sense or Statesmen in any sense.
