2010 Tax-Friendly Politicians and Groups

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) just issued its naughty and nice list for 2010. In it, it rates various politicians under the category "naughty" if they have taken a position suggesting they are in favor of more taxes and "nice" those that have done the opposite.
As expected, President Obama topped the naughty list along with Robert Gibbs and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson for her campaign to tax and fine emissions-causers. However, there were surprises as Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels made the list for even considering a VAT. 

The nice list encompassed the tea party movement, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie "for staring down government union bosses" (woo woo!) and even Snooki, for busting Obama's inclusion of a 10% tanning tax in Obamacare. And last but not least, House member Charlie Rangel made the list, "for lowering at least one American's tax burden." You gotta love that sarcasm.
