Thanks, Harry, For Clearing That Up

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found a new tax loophole, and after watching this video, I'm afraid it's one between his ears.

In this video from last year, watch him try to explain to interviewer Jan Helfeld that paying income taxes is voluntary because the IRS allows deductions.

Oooooookaaaaaaayyyy.

Cringe we must, but at least this video is a wonderful teaching tool. We'll show it to government classes in future lessons on "Washington double-speak."
