WASHINGTON -- Rep. Charles Rangel (http://www.nypost.com/topics/topic.php?t=Charles_Rangel) failed to report as much as $1.3 million in outside income -- including up to $1 million for a Harlem building sale -- on financial-disclosure forms he filed between 2002 and 2006, according to newly amended records.
The documents also show the embattled chairman of the Ways and Means Committee -- who is being probed by the House Ethics Committee -- failed to reveal a staggering $3 million in various business transactions over the same period...

Is it too much to ask for the Chairman of the chief tax-writing body of the House of Representatives not to be a shameless tax cheat? Since Rangel has an completely safe blue state seat from NY, it seems likely that he ain't gonna get voted out. Ever. :fork: :bash: :roll: :cantbeli:

All of them......


Alzheimers Charlie is the classic example of a constituency which doesnt care about character, or ethics. He thinks since he's holding Adam Clayton Powells old seat that he should take that same charlatan attitude to extremes. He is secure in that seat until death no matter his performance.

A politician that lied, or "forgot", I'm shocked I tell you, shocked. Why is anyone here the slightest bit surprised by this?

Rangel is a crook, and a bad person in my opinion.

There has to be a better way. But yet, it's the same most places.
Little man starting to get tired of crap.

Yes he is...but he sounds just like Louis Armstrong. And I like that.

When is he going to be up on Charges? Then I'll be friggen shocked. Until then, the Dems are letting this POS show to the world you can ignore the same basic laws that You and Me would be prosecuted for as long as they're in charge.

The Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat. Why should the Chairman of a Congressional Committee not be?

There are term limits, he just keeps getting voted in. It doesn't bother the majority of his constituency so they let him slide. It's pathetic.
