Rep. Charlie Rangel — a tax cheat who was voted the most corrupt man in Congress (and, WOW, that’s saying something). Despite leading the committee that writes our tax code, he doesn’t pay his own taxes.
Think there’s something wrong with that? Would you like to have the opportunity, as a tax-paying citizen, to ask Mr. Rangel, face-to-face, why he thinks he’s above the law?
Don’t bother — according to Mr. Rangel, it’s “none of your God-damned business.”
Rangel can’t stand the heat over his mounting ethical/financial scandals. When Hot Air TV special correspondent Jason Mattera confronts the tax cheat, Rangel has a snit fit.
And just check out that smug smile on Charlie’s face. That’s the look of a man who knows he answers to no one.

Michelle Malkin has video of another Democrat abusing his office and his constituents — this time it’s Chicago 22nd Ward alderman, Ricardo Munoz, who shoves a tax payer and yells at him to “get the fuck out of my office.”
I’m not a lawyer but what I see on that tape looks like battery.
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.

Maybe Rangel ought to ask what fellow meglomaniac Ceausescu got for Christmas in ‘89.
Another of many reasons, why we need to throw these bums out of Congress in the 2010 midterm election.
In general, I don’t recommend anyone base their opinions on what some celebrity says, but I am constantly reminded of what Ted Nugent said during last year’s campaign. Namely, that it is (or was) our patriotic duty as Americans to make sure that absolutely no incumbents, regardless of party, went back to Capitol Hill after the election.
I believe that we all would have been much better off if Ted had gotten his wish. I so hope that we, as Americans, can clean house (or House) in 2010.
Colin,
Ted was right, and I hope we do, or at least a passel of them.
Here’s what the Nuge has to say today.
Amen, brother!
