Tax Vox reports,
A new package of anti-swine flu tax incentives was introduced in the House [yesterday].
The three-pronged package would provide a new tax credit for businesses that purchase liquid hand sanitizers, make it easier for state and local governments to sell tax-exempt bonds to finance swine flu first-response teams, and provide a new deduction for automobile air handlers.
The measure, called the Swine Flu Protection Act (SFPA), has bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. “This package will help keep America safe from this insidious homeland security threat,” said Representative Hedley Lemarr (R-Tex.). “And make no mistake: This is not new spending,” he added.
Wait a minute?
Wasn’t Hedley Lemarr a character in Blazing Saddles?

John,
Every time Congress “simplifies” the tax code, I make more money.
