It has been alleged that BushCo used the services of civil servants to crunch the numbers of Kerry's tax proposals. This, of course, would be tantamount to an abuse of power. As reported in The Guadian's article
Treasury to Probe Kerry Tax Analysts,
Yet another DeLay:
The inquiry will look into allegations first reported by The Wall Street Journal that civil servants were used to calculate the costs of Kerry's tax plan, Delmar said. Federal law bars civil servants from working on political campaigns while on duty.
Treasury posted the analysis of Kerry's tax plan on its Web site on March 22.
Department spokesman Rob Nichols didn't comment on the inspector general's decision to look into the analysis of Kerry's tax plan, but he defended the agency's action.
``It is proper for the for the Treasury Department to analyze tax proposals so that members of Congress and the administration can be informed,'' Nichols said.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, had requested that Treasury conduct the cost analysis.
Who knows where they will stop. Though this investigation is preliminary, it is still evidence of the corruption of this current regime.
