"His rental business — which leased television sets and other appliances to people who could not afford to buy them — appeared on the delinquent list in a city sales-tax scandal in the 1980's. And a day after he was elected to Congress in 1990, the Resolution Trust Corporation, which was trying to clean up the mess from the collapse of savings institutions, sued him for $160,000 over an apartment-building loan on which he had quit making payments. He later settled the suit, with friends saying his investments had been hurt by a faltering economy."

Looks like he was "exploiting and taking advantage" of his fellow impoverished people -- those rental businesses make you buy the appliance about 3-4 times over, they are big scams.

Again, can you imagine, what the MSM would be saying, if a Republican had been involved in this?!
