Enemy of the Taxpayers

October 26, 2006

Enemy of the Taxpayers is what 258 legislators (209 members of the House and 49 senators) were dubbed by Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ). CTJ scored legislators on key votes that dramatically affected tax fairness, revenues and budget deficits. According to CTJ, “the grading system is based on the combination of two criteria: tax fairness and fiscal responsibility — principles that all sides of the political debate at least pretend to honor.” For a full accounting, check out CTJ’s “Congressional Tax Report Card” report.
