Chairman of the Ways and Means committee, a congressional "expert" on tax code but he made a boo-boo (or two or three).

Great picture though...

Awwww, come on, he can't be bothered with his own stuff. He should blame his accountant.

he is, along with everyone else he can think of, save Mr. Rangel.

“I really don’t believe making mistakes means you have to give up your career,” said Mr. Rangel, a Democrat from Harlem.

He should have told that to Newt back in the day...

He should have told that to Newt back in the day...

Or Trent Lott...

 

[MontereyVol]

Seriously, that stuff is for peons and not for a man of his intellectual prowess. Thats like asking Einstein to teach a kindergarten math class.

I love the part about the "cultural and language barriers" when 1/2 his district or more speak Spanish...

His accountant is Wesley Snipes.

 

[volinbham]

His lawyer actually is that bastion of truth - Lanny Davis.

He should have told that to Newt back in the day...

the sad part of that statement is he views his position as a career

 

[MontereyVol]

His accountant is Wesley Snipes.

Yes, it is apparent that Rep. Rangel has a limited grasp of Spanish.

Pelosi will not strip him of his chair position. more hypocrisy from the left. this is not the 1st time this guy has dodged taxes.

I wonder if Jim Trafficant needs a cellmate?

actually, I like Jim, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

this is payback for Rangel wanting to reintroduce the draft.

 

[volinbham]

What a shock? Another Rangel boondoggle exposed.

You would think the guy in charge of the committee that oversees tax laws would realize this is also a taxable benefit.

Laws? Laws are for the workers not the ruling elites.
