It is time for Rangle to brake rocks or dig those ditches in chains.

It doesn't matter with the dems. Usually nothing ever happens. Although I was surprised that the Detroit mayor received jail time.

More from the Times

Mr. Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which writes the federal tax code, bought the beachfront villa at the Punta Cana Yacht Club and has received twice-yearly payments from the resort, which rents the property for $500 or more per night.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought that money earned outside of the U.S. is not taxable.

Obviously, Rangel saw the Harry Reid interview where Harry said Federal Income taxes are voluntary. Chuck simply decided to volunteer not to pay them.

He will use the “Gee, I forgot” defense. Not bad for a committee chairman whose expertise is financial.

Instead of using him as an example (as he should be)the IRS will let him off by paying the back taxes and a fine.

Nothing will be done at the ethics level in the House.

This would only matter if Charlie were a Republican.

Nothing to see here, move along now people.

BFD, amended returns and disclosure forms, no harm, no foul. Yawn. Obama did so with 10 times that amount paid to ACORN, no?

The Republicans need to hit this hard. 527’s need to put this in ads against Rats in house district races. He is Chairman of Ways and Means Committee. This is the committee that authors all tax legislation.

This is an opportunity to paint Rats as crooks. The corruption comes home to roost so to speak.

The Rats should force him to resign from the Committee or pay a big price at the polls.

Sloppy. This is just sloppy bookkeeping. It was sloppy on his part. He probably meant to pay the taxes but it was just sloppy the way he handled it. This just a sloppy oversight on Rangle’s behalf.

I’m sure the staff member who did this was fired.

Who paid for the condo? Lobbyists? Dem contributors? Community Organizers?

This is typical for liberals and Democrats. They believe they are above the law. Impeach Rangel!
