Nancy Pelousi, for all your chastising of fellow Democrats to exhibit courage and vote for the health care bill -- you then turn around and publicly support the unethical politician - Charles Rangel.

It is time for the people to mount an attack, on the system that has allowed individuals such as he to find a safe place to practice their crimes against the taxpayers. To thumb their noses at the rules we must live with a slight of hand and a wink.
Remove the pigs from the feedbag---it is time to have a constitutional ammendent limiting terms of office for all politicians---you come to office, serve your term and go home--no more liftime pensions,cadillac health care,special perks--thanks and bye-bye.The arrogance is intolerable.

i wish ronald reagan was still pres. he was the best. i felt safe and proud to be an american. we were looked upon by other countrys with respect and fear. rangel is a good example of how corrupt our nation is. what if we all stopped paying taxes. its sad about obama being a racist.to bad we could not trade him in for j.c. watts ,he would be a great president unlike obama who says sorry to the world for the way we have acted

Thought Nancy Pelosi said this would be the least corrupt congress ever under her watchful eye.Big Chucks deplorable act is only compounded by the fact that his democratic cohorts chose to circle the wagons and protect him! Great job Nancy,the country can sleep easy with you on watch.

I know several people (within the same company where I work) who recently received letters from the IRS stating taxes were under paid and listing amounts owed from years ago. Then last week I received one. I have paid what I was told I owed at the time by tax preparers. I have no way of determining whether the IRS or preparers made a mistake but I feel like the bad guy. It would be something if these people passing judgment got a letter soon.

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
