Your tone is less than constructive and I agree with the down-votes.

But I also have to agree with your assessment given the contents of the article. The bill typifies the sort of "you're so stupid/corrupt/ridiculous we can't even talk with each other" attitude that is causing so many problems of late. "Made me chuckle at those other people" does not constitute good leadership.

edit: the title of the bill is "The Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Act". Tell me that's not some juvenile and unbecoming of a representative of the government of the united states.

He doesn't expect it to actually pass, it's a way of shaming the IRS.

How else should he do it? A strongly worded letter?

Steve Stockman is "less than constructive". Anyone who would link to his site is brain dead. Just Google some of the crazy hatred this guy has put out there...
