Despite Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desire for the House ethics probe of Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel to end early last month, the investigation appears to be dragging on.If the Chairman of the House Ways and Means commits tax fraud on a regular basis why should you pay taxes? Yes why?
The ethics committee has still not voted on how to proceed in its probe of alleged financial and fundraising improprieties by the New York Democrat.
The Sunlight Foundation, a watchdog group, released a report Wednesday saying that Rangel, who was first elected to the House in 1970, had failed to report purchases, sales or ownership of assets 28 times since 1978 as required on his financial disclosure forms.
