1. A Democrat who represents New York's 15th district and is the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
2. An unethical
hypocrite who demands everyone else pay through the nose in taxes, yet dodges them himself. Failed to report income from rental properties, lived in rent-subsidized apartments while claiming his
Washington DC home as his primary residence for tax purposes, and gave 2.8 billion of our money to Diageo to make rum in the US
Virgin Islands, among other things.
Person 1: Why do the Democrats stick up for Charlie Rangel?
Person 2: Because they are corrupt scumbags who protect their own. They're fine with politicians
breaking the law, as long as they're fellow Democrats. But if they're
Republicans, then it's
unacceptable.
