Fire Tax Cheat Rangel

In my humble opinion, Rep Rangel has abused his position in government and should be fired for corruption and breaking the laws he has been chosen to oversee. And I am not alone, including a surprising voice from within liberal DC:

Rangel Suffers From a Case of Entitlement

By Richard Cohen

Rangel is now the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a man of immense importance in Washington. Nonetheless, he has been busy of late revising and amending the record, backing and filling, using buckets of Wite-Out as he discovers or remembers properties he has owned in New York, New Jersey, Florida, the Dominican Republic and God only knows where else — and has forgotten or neglected to fully report on the required forms, not to mention the income from them. Oops!

Rangel recently even discovered bank accounts that no one in the world, apparently including him, knew he had. One was with the Congressional Federal Credit Union; another was with Merrill Lynch — each valued between $250,000 and $500,000. He somehow neglected to mention these accounts on his congressional disclosure forms, which means, if you can believe it, that when he signed the forms, he did not notice that maybe $1 million was missing. Someone ought to check the lighting in his office.

Rangel is a corrupt buffoon who has been living high on the backs of the tax payers for far too long. Congress better throw him out, or we will throw Congress out with him.

    Pelosi’s Priorities:

    Cheat on your taxes while writing tax law? Keep your position.

    Heckle the president during a speech? Sanction.
