Personally I think Daschle should be the next prison inmate. Wesley Snipes
gets 3 years for failing to cough up taxes, the Survivor guy getss 4 years.
A former Congressman should be held to a higher standard.

The law should be the same for everyone.

I screwed up my taxes one year, a $13K mistake that the IRS caught.
Contrary to conventional wisdom the IRS was a joy to work with.
They were polite, understanding and accommodating. I paid off my
error, plus interest, over two years and criminal prosecution was
never even mentioned. Mr. Snipes and the Survivor guy must have
tried to cheat. Daschle and me, we screwed up. Big difference.
