WHAT IF ELIOT SPITZER RAN THE IRS?

With all due respect to the Good People of the State of New York, I have to ask a serious question.

What if Eliot Spitzer ran the IRS?

If Spitzer ran the IRS, every member of Congress would not just be audited quarterly, they would be on double-secret probation for life.

If Spitzer ran the IRS, new Presidents would be assured that any "vetting" of administration nominees would be totally unnecessary.

If Spitzer ran the IRS, U.S. taxpayers would see a new perk added to the list of goodies that our enlightened elected leaders receive.  Small-group seminars and tax-planning sessions from TurboTax to all members of Congress.

If Spitzer ran the IRS, ethics violations would INCLUDE financial oversights, gee I forgot to pay that lien, my nanny never told me she was from San Salvador and I didn't know the car and driver were taxable offenses.

If Spitzer ran the IRS, the Treasury would be focused on getting the fat cats, the big fish and the top Kahunas, not us regular folks.

And finally, if Spitzer ran the IRS, "entertainment" taxes would be loosened. So to speak.

And who better to "follow the money" than our guy Eliot?

Let me know what you think.
