Even as he fends off accusations about his own failure to pay taxes and fully disclose his financial dealings, Rep. Charles Rangel had quietly slipped into the health-care bill broad new provisions cracking down on taxpayers in proceedings with the IRS.

The hypocrisy is astounding. Not only should he lose his position, he should go straight to jail. But that will never happen, noooooo.

You make a mistake once it’s a mistake, it happens again in short order then it’s fishy. Happens a third time or more then it’s obvious either you have some really shoddy book keepers or more likely in Rangel’s case he is trying to commit fraud. Seems like charlie thinks that everyone should be paying through the nose to the goverment if they make a mistake but then try and correct it but he and his cronies should be exempt from the laws.

Rangel isn’t worried.

He’s a member of the new Master Race.

Of course, the last Master Race could build cars, tanks, planes and discover the secrets of the universe.

This one can keep a beat and run fast.

We’ll see how things develop.

~ The New York Post (which has been doing all of the real work on Mr. Rangel) ~
I know! I love the Post. I have to beat my husband out to the driveway to get the paper in the morning otherwise I don’t get to read in until the evening.
The problem with Rangel is that even with the calls of “The Emperor has no clothes!” and potential (though unrealistic) “punishment” by his colleagues in Congress, the sheeple in his district will reelect him no matter what.

The New York Post (which has been doing all of the real work on Mr. Rangel) has noted a few more hypocritical things about this Solon of Capitol Hill:

HYPOCRITE CHARLIE: PUNISH TAX SLIP-UPS

By CHARLES HURT, DC BUREAU CHIEF

September 1, 2009 — WASHINGTON — Even as he fends off accusations about his own failure to pay taxes and fully disclose his financial dealings, Rep. Charles Rangel had quietly slipped into the health-care bill broad new provisions cracking down on taxpayers in proceedings with the IRS, The Post has learned.

The changes approved by the House Ways and Means Committee that Rangel chairs would strip away legal defenses and pile higher penalties on corporate and individual taxpayers facing IRS proceedings for what they claim are unintentional mistakes, experts said.

Rangel’s bill would:

* Punish those who fail to alert the IRS to potentially questionable tax exemptions.

* Bar the IRS from waiving penalties against taxpayers who clearly erred in good faith.

* Double fines in certain circumstances.

“The bill raises penalties and eliminates many of the reasonable defenses that taxpayers have always been able to use when honest mistakes are uncovered,” one lawyer told The Post.

In fact, the bill increases fines “in some cases even for honest mistakes,” the expert added…

The Rangel plan also would prevent the IRS from waiving punishment in cases where tax officials thought the penalty was excessive.

Under another provision, the IRS would require that taxpayers self-report areas where they may have gone over the line seeking tax advantages. If they fail to self-report and problems are found, tax penalties skyrocket…
