Charles Rangel Censured for House Ethics Violations - ABC News
Not paying taxes on property fo 17 years is not a 'mistake'.Last month, the House ethics committee found Rangel guilty of 11 of 13 violations of House rules, including using official resources improperly to raise funds from businesses and foundations for a center at the City College of New York that's named after him.
He also was found guilty of not paying taxes for 17 years on a rental property he owns in the Dominican Republic, even as he chaired the committee in charge of writing tax laws.
And?
He owns property is a foreign country. Tax laws are all over the place on shit like that. He gave his taxes for accountants to do. It's not like he was using his power to make money or shill for his own political career improperly, like Newt Gingrich.
He cleared up the problem with the IRS. And he took the rebuke. Otherwise he's got a pretty good record in Congress and has been instrumental in such causes as civil rights and has served his district very well.
Rebuke? Youve got to be kidding, if it was just a regular guy he would have to say hello from his prison cell.
