The interior of Punta Cana.
Rangel came under fire in July when he acknowledged holding leases on four rent-stabilized apartments in Harlem, where he has lived since the early 1970s. Adding his $169,300 congressional salary and other earnings reported in ranges in the disclosure forms, his 2006 income totaled between $172,802 to $185,200. His 2007 income totaled $175,811 to $187,200. And that does not include Punta Cana rental income.

Interesting. I wonder if he declared those free airline trips as income on his federal tax return? Oh, that’s right, Harry Reid is on record as saying that federal income taxes are “voluntary” in the US.

"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":

"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il ...

The National Committee of Workers World Party extends our deepest condolences on the passing of the great leader of the Korean people, Comrade President Kim Il Sung.

Comrade Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the Korean people's struggle for national self-determination and the international working-class struggle for socialist emancipation. With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine.

For over 40 years since the armistice, the U.S. military has continued to occupy the south of Korea with troops and nuclear weapons. This occupation has been the chief obstacle to peaceful reunification of Korea and poses the chief danger of a new war on the peninsula." ...

"Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...

With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party":

Here is a direct link to the set of photos showing Ramsey Clark, Lynne Stewart and current democrat chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, all at the Workers World Party/Troops Out Now event on March 19, 2005. Again, the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war:

C’mon! “Taxes? Only the little people pay taxes!” Leona Helmsley... or was the Charlie Rangel?

[OldSmaj]

As a congressman, failure to fully list all income and investments can result in civil penalties or criminal charges.

You forgot the footnote...i.e., "Applies to Republicans only. Democratic congresspersons are exempt, because they said so".

Rangel will not answer to this, nor will he be seriously called out on it.

If it were a republican, it would be plastered all over the MSM.

As a dim, Rangel can and will do as he damn well pleases and if caught will scream "racist" and "partisan political attacks" or some other equally disgusting rant.

[Condor51]

My memory is a little fuzzy - and no I didn't search, but didn't Charlie’s predecessor, Adam Clayton Powell get busted for the same thing?

I *think* it put him in prison.

[Joe Boucher]

Come on man, you gots to know our vaunted Dept. of Justice won’t go after this. Rangel is a black man and a politician.
He is imune from prosecution from crimes he’s committed just like Al Sharpton.
