Ready Patriots

Finally, after a laundry list of ethical violations that would have landed any non-congressperson in jail or, at a minimum with frozen assets from the IRS, Rangel steps down from the position of the powerful House Ways and Means Chairman.  When Nancy Pelosi told us that she was going to run the most ethical house in the history of the planet, she surely must have considered that Charlie Rangel might be a blemish?

Too many high ranking politicians and bureaucrats don’t seem to be able to figure out their own taxes.  How is it that we turn over so much responsibility of managing this country’s affairs to people who either are too incompetent to manage their own affairs properly or too corrupt to manage their affairs according to the rules that they demand each one of us comply?

Charlie Rangel, resign your seat in congress and go home in shame.
