The most taxpayer-unfriendly members of congress

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents.

The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records.

Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to it? This would be wonderful fodder for me in my endeavors here.

Thanks

Eagle Forum and the Conservative Union also do rankings on various issues of the reps and senators.

What Congress needs is after every bill passed the cost should be divided among those who voted for the expenditures. When election time rolls around the candidate would have to explain the millions or BILLIONS that he or she has spent. Congress unanimously voted against this proposal.
