Who Should Be Forgiven For Breaking The Tax Laws? An Entertainer Or A Politician?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31245.html#commentsform
What if it's Beck with a tax 'accident'?

So what if Beck screwed up his taxes. The last time I looked, he was an entertainer.

When Beck complains about a criminal, I mean politician, who screws up his (or her) tax return, we are talking about someone who claims to care about the law. Someone who will be making new laws that everyone else must obey. Someone who is deemed to be an example for us all. Therefore, a politician is someone who should be held to a higher standard than the rest of the citizens.

If politicians are unwilling or unable to obey the tax laws, then maybe the tax laws need to be changed. If politicians are NOT expected to obey the law, then the citizens need to wonder why?
