I tried to call Rangles office and " they " who answered the telephone hung up as soon as one would ask that Rangle be ask to resign. One man who answers the phone touts 25 years of talking to folks..... He too will hang up if offended by a question. Like, kwhy did Charlie hide his assests ? Dial tone................................... try Charle's phone number of 202-225-4365...............Be prepared to be insulted by the staffs attitude. Like Charlie like staff ???????

The man in charge of writing tax laws is under investigation for tax evasion, and Democrats are standing by him. Pelosi refuses to ask him to step down until the investigation is over. So much for Democrats bringing accountability back to Washington DC - http://is.gd/478RT

We the American public must have he abilty to toss this thief and his supporters out of office. How do we go about it? Petions, marches ? Something has to be done and we can't rely on his peers to do anything, for they fear they may be next.

What do all of you expect? It doesn't matter whether your a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Progressive or Communist. The fact is that, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"!

Bottom line is if I had done this where would I be? Your right behind bars for 18 months and making restitution to the I.R.S.

What is even worse about this situation is that the race card will be brought into the issue by different interests including the esteemed Congressman himself. Which he has already done!

Why does our President have a comment on this. It would show extreme leadership in such difficult times. I'll tell you why because he is from the same corrupt culture.

God help us!

Liberals and their double standard and Hypocrisy. This SOB should be loooooong gone if not for the Anti-truth and morals of the left. They are a Disgrace to America!

But they won't report the money they steal from us and give to almost anybody and especially not their own. Our money is their money that their money was our money. Funny that not a single Republican Senator can stand up and say, "I'm filibustering this chamber until this crook is removed!". Never happen. Too much important work to be done to worry about how congress is perceived by the sheeple. Politics has become so boring. The spirit of '76 has given way to the spirit of 'oh well'.

Any person in a leadership role is subjected to scrutiny by the public. Rangel is no exception to the rule and should take himself off of the committee. He should do this not just for President Obama but for the Americans who supported him.

Senator Stevens was kicked out and prosecuted for failing to report $250,000 worth of work done to his property...

Rangle failed to report over $1,000,000, yet the Leadership AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA say nothing, and in-fact, support him.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Progressive Democrat.
