"Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La., introduced a bill this week to exempt from taxes all BP payments to spill victims, though its prospects for becoming law were uncertain." I am totally surprised a democrat is creating a bill like this.

You're surprised that a member of a party based on attempting to level the playing field of society is creating a bill to try and eliminate some suffering for a group of people adversely affected by something that wasn't their fault? Whatever you say...
