At a time when the American people are watching the elitist government take more freedom and choice from them we see more and more of the same elitist abusing and cheating the system. Government officials are out of control and without fear of any reaction from the American people, These arrogant elitists are grabbing all than can while telling the people they were elected to serve how to live and taking their hard earned money.
Just read this article.
The Washington Post says: Rep. Rangel must step aside as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Rangel’s amended financial disclosure form, which exposes omissions from his 2002 through 2006 records, is a treasure trove of outrage. He neglected to report a checking account with the Congressional Federal Credit Union and one with Merrill Lynch, each valued between $250,000 and $500,000; the tens of thousands of dollars he’s earning from dividends from a number of mutual funds and stocks; and the money made from the sale of a Harlem townhouse. As a result, Mr. Rangel’s reported net worth doubled, from between $516,015 and $1,316,000 to between $1,028,024 and $2,495,000. Much is expected of elected officials. Much more is expected and demanded of those entrusted with chairmanships and the power that comes with them, especially when it involves the nation’s purse strings. From all that we’ve seen thus far, Charles Rangel Rep (D-N.Y.) has violated that trust continually and seemingly without care.
It is way past time that Rangle step down from his post. It is high time that the Attorney General has a special prosecutor investigate the legal case against Rangle and bring a case against him that doesn’t just remove him from congress but sends him to prison! If Rangle violated the law it is time the Obama justice department does their job. Clearly the Obama justice department is not going after the clear crimes being committed in the halls of Congress. We need to see special prosecutors being set up to investigate government abuse and criminal activity now. But sadly Obama does not seem interested is clearing up his fellow elitist government officials that are abusing the system.
