If Tom Daschle's failure to pay taxes was enough to keep him out of the job of Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Nancy Killefer's failure to pay taxes was enough to keep her out of the job of chief performance officer, why is Charlie Rangel's failure to pay taxes on thousands of dollars of annual rental income, for about 20 years in a row, not expected to amount to anything?
He's boasting that the House Ethics Committee is going to give him a pass.
If so, it'll be a whitewash,

Better yet, why should the Sec. Of The Treas. Get a pass?
Isn't he the De facto Head of the IRS yet could not pay his taxes properly?
What's Next? Are we gonna put a prison escapee in charge of the Federal Prison system?
Come on, Congressional Republicans—speak up about this! Or do as you usually do and wave the white flag of surrender to yet another liberal travesty.
very funny.
Why should Geithner get a pass?
“Come on, Congressional Republicans—speak up about this...”
Probably the Pubbies are up to their ears in these problems as well....
Whitewash Rangel? I don’t think it will work. Ever notice Dems caught with their hand in the cookie jar just brazen it out? Like “Cold Cash” Jackson, Rangle, Geithner, etc.
We need to write our congresscritters again. No stimulus, get rid of Rangel, get rid of Geithner, get rid of Dodd.
Because...he's...BLACK. Simple math.

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the Workers World Party website.
Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

On a somewhat related subject...I’ve wondered for years how Ramsey Clark got tied into this extreme far left commie anything anti-American crap? I believe he was AJ under LBJ so I can understand being lefty but soooo faaar out there?
Thanks,
I like the idea of having all the congressionals submit to a tax audit.
That ought to take care of the ethics regs
AJ = AG (I live in Indy)
What's stranger is that he apparently was that way even back then!

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.
November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

From the Maoist Internationist Movement:
[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

I’m sure Geithner will get right on it.

Funny, I just went to do a search on the current members of the ethics committee & found this:

Looks like committee members are baling so as not to deal with the Rangel problem.
