this guy has more apartments and houses and casitas than John McCains old lady.......and he did not know .....He dit not know about the taxes .....he did not know ? right ......this guy is the head of Ways and Means...... well I will get to the chase this guy as likable as he is will not run in the next election

What floors me is that the liberal media in the US wont mention this and if the do it will be---
He forgot, an accounting error, did not realize since it is property in another country, we were not sure either unitl we checked with the IRS.

"Rangel's lawyer said he will probably file amendments to his tax returns for the years in question, and that Rangel did not know he had to declare the money as income."-

I am no attorney but I do know that monies gained outside of the country are subject to the US tax system if you are a permenant resident or citizen.

Just struck me that it's funny with these DT pieces that our comments can often approach the length of the info! Reuters says at most he may owe a couple of thousand to the state and zero to the feds, and that the reported cause of the error was that his wife received the statements but didn't deliver them to Rangel's accountant. Funny thing is that the bureaucracy that will be caused by the bit of journalism will be more costly than the taxes it will collect....

"Rangel has asked for a congressional ethics inquiry on that matter [Harlem below-market apartments) and was considering requesting a similar review of his Dominican property, Davis said."

So, either some or all or none of roached-overwhelmed Punta Cana Yacht Club or rat-infested Punta Cana Hotel, or the garbage-stewed Punta Cana Resort and Club ratted on the bro.

You won't believe the record of poisonings at these joints that have occurred in recent months.

Texasshoe,
So true.....Just leave it up to the US liberal media not a word will hit the air waves that is if....There is no connection to the McCain / Palin ticket.
Hey I was wondering since the Clinton's own property in Punta Cana does this also apply / effect them ????
By the way I have renamed CNN to.......
"CNN THE MOST MISS-TRUSTED NAME, IN NEWS"

Manhattanite...as head of ways and means and a noted financial type in congress is it possible you would have us believe that he was unaware of one the simple tax laws of earned rental income...please I beg you dont make me think you really believe old Charley did not know.....He probably helped write that law....If that beach casita Charley got brother in lawed 20 years ago was put on the market it would be worth well over a million to day I guess old Charley just forgot about it just like those 5 rent controlled apartments.....Charley has retained democratic hack and Clinton spokesperson Lanie Davis as his mouthpiece.....Maybe Obama will use him as well for his scammed house he got from convicted real estate shyster....

There is no such thing s a liberal media, for all of those geasy whores are reactionaries.

They pretend to be liberal to dupe the dumbasses.

In reality, the liberal media is more reactionary and more rotten than the Washington Times ... or rotttenes spar excellence.

Belial the Obamanable snow job keeps losing ground every day......what happened ?

New dirt on old Charley and his villa in Punta Cana....it looks like curtains for Charley manhattanite.... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/06.....html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Ted Kheel famous NYC labour lawyer and one of the founders of Punta Cana Beach Club...a posh quality resort practically gave casita to Rangel......Why?

Now that Pelosi has called for an investigation we will see if there is a difference between the treatment given to corrupt politicians in the US and corrupt politicians here.

Gee, I wonder how many of the U.S. residents who have rental villas in the D.R. actually report that income.

Anybody wanna guess?

According the now GOP-infested CBS News, as of Monday to Wednesday [Sept. 1-3] this week Obama and McCain were tied at 42% each, McCain, according to reactionary fools, enjoying a huge convention "bounce" to produce just a tie.
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/opinion/polls/main500160.shtml

Then suddenly, yesterday, things really got "better" for McCain, according reactionary fools.

"PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Tuesday through Thursday [Sept. 2-4] finds Barack Obama with a four-percentage-point lead over John McCain in the presidential preferences of registered voters, 48% to 44%."
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110065....Daily-Obamas-Lead-Now-Points.aspx

Now, the reactionary fools are bragging not only about McCain convention "bounce" but also his "momentum."

Like GC, the reactionary fools believe Obama "keeps losing ground every day."

If McCain had gotten a bigger "bounce" from the gop convention, he would be out of the race.

In the heads of reactionary fools, like GC, Obama "loses ground" when he pulls ahead by 4 points of McCain, the senile gop.

If that's the case, I pray that Obama loses a lot of ground and pulls 15 points ahead of McCain next week.

What are these reactionary fools, like GC, being fed, that makes them believe McCain, the senile gop, who recruits trailer park trash as his running mate is doing so well in the race for power.

After all, CBS News and the Gallup Organization are not only outlets of the US capitalist media, they are also gop-infested outlets of the US capitalist media.

If reactionary fools, like GC, can't believe gop-infested outlets of the US capitalist media, what can they believe?

REPORTER: Senator McCain, what kind of running mate you want?

McCAIN: Oh, one who steals her daughter's baby.

REPORTER: Why?

McCAIN: If she steals her own daughter's baby, you know she will steal Iran's oil.

Now that Obama has pulled ahead of senile McCain by 4 points in the last couple days, listen and watch ... with your own ears and eyes ... how reactionary fools in the gop-infested capitalist media present this adverse development for McCain as a good thing for McCain and a bad thing for Obama.

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/s....regnancy_wedding/celebrity/65370#

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.

Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.

But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.

The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.

In a preemptive strike Palin released the news, creating political shockwaves.

If McCain isn't senile, then who is?

"you know who .....belial we will be ********* soon," GC prophesies.

0000

Don't you know there are more appropriate places to perform that function?

When you reproduce, the cemetery isn't the place to do it.

Palin now more popular than McCain and Obama........Obama is for it now "wheres hillary "he says.....Please help me I will loan you the money to pay your debt anything you want please help mehttp://www.rasmussenreports.com/p....ow_more_popular_than_obama_mccain

Rasmussen tracker is more dishonest and goppish than even Gallup's tracker.

But even Rasmussen, as of today, shows a 3 point Obama lead , implying no convention bounce for McCain with or without the "popular" Gov. Palin.

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 46%. "
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/p..../daily_presidential_tracking_poll

Since Gallup says Obama by 4 points and Rasmussen says Obama by 3 points after an alleged tie as of Wednesday during the gop convention, this implies that Obama real lead is either 8 or 9 points or, in other words, about 5 points in addition to what the lying gops at Gallup and Rasmussen report.

Barack Obama’s covention bounce peaked on Tuesday night and McCain has gained some ground since then. Most of McCain’s gains have come from women. On Tuesday, Obama led by fourteen points among women, that was down to a seven-point edge by Saturday morning. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll will continue to measure the McCain bounce with new results released each morning at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Monday morning’s update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted after the Republican convention.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/p....s_reviewing_last_week_s_key_polls

Rasmussen's admission "Monday morning’s update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted after the Republican convention" shows that its daily tracker for yesterday and today ... both after the gop convention ... are lies.

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll will continue to measure the McCain bounce with new results released each morning at 9:30 a.m. Eastern."
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/p....s_reviewing_last_week_s_key_polls

This means that Rasmussen presciently knows that McCain alleged bounce "will continue" next week, days before the daily tracking polls are either conducted or reported.

So, next week, Rasmussen intends to come out with some really big lies in favor of McCain.

The purpose of these stupid admissions of its lying by Rasmussen is to alert the whole cappie press so that the whole media can pick up and carry Rasmussen lies next week.

There were 3 high school-aged boys walking down the street in Washington. Suddenly, they see Bill Clinton go jogging by, and he's about to be hit by a car. So, they pull Bill out of the way and save his life. Bill says "Thank you for saving my life. I'll grant each of you one wish."

The first boy says, "I want to go to Georgetown."

Bill pulls some strings and gets the boy admitted.

The second boy says "I want to get into West Point, but it normally requires a Congressional appointment".

So Bill calls up his Democratic friends in Congress and gets the boy his appointment.

The third boy says "I want to be buried in Arlington National Cemetary."

Bill says "That's an odd request for a 17-year old!"

The boy says "Yeah, but when my father finds out I saved your life he's gonna kill me!"

Are these "punks for ricardo" against or for Barack Obama's request, delivered Sept. 5, to George W. Bush, the butcher of the 1,000,000 Iraqi people, for at least a 90-day suspension of the blockade on remittances, travel, and assistance of Cuban Americans and Cuban residents in the USA to their love ones in Cuba?

These punks get a monthly allowance from the imperialist US Interest Section in Havana; so, the punks will likely oppose granting US citizens and US residents of Cuban origin the liberty to help their love ones in the aftermath of a hurricane or perhaps two or three hurricanes.

The filthy punk degenerates.

Belial the chickens have come home to roost ...dont choke them.....McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.

Like, GC it'd be good if McCain can maintain his lead, build momentum & win!. But many Americans realize given the current Bush course & Mac's almost 3 decade tenure in DC, I am wondering how much more the weakened US economy can take? Has GC or anyone heard of the US$ 10B/month we borrow from the Chinese & EU to finance Iraqi war? Or how excess borrowing gave the US $ a free fall over the past few years and now in a yo-yo effect (but still near rock bottom)? Also, the over US credit crisis spilling over in to the rest of world? How much does it cost to fill up your tank? What about the oil crisis & gas prices feeding inflation ALL areas that depend on transportation? The hi cost of living/inflation includes run-a-way health care & ED costs so now, household savings are NOTHING especially after stocks crash because of all of the above and housing slumps with record decrease as years of built up equity are LOST!

Sooo, maybe CG is right, huh? I am just an honorary Economist.

(con't)
I guess I forgot to mention the unemployment - stagflation. WOW! Mac says Obama will raise taxes but the NON-PARTISAN tax council states that both will lower taxes for households. But Obama will lower taxes 300% more than Mac for middle & low income (i.e. Walmart shoppers) or 95% of US households. But Mac, will lower taxes more for the elite 5% (i.e. Tiffany shoppers like his wife's family). Obama will raise taxes oil extraordinary HIGH profits of OIL COMPANIES whereas Mac wants to continue their TAX CREDITS because he feels that EXXON-MOBIL is not making enough even though quarter "bottom-line" exceeds US $1 Billion! I think FOX NEWS does a great job of getting the lies out that Obama will raise taxes. It's a very funny show& good for laughs but like cheap whiskey if you take too much of FOX then I usually want to vomit...

GC I'm on your side & Belial is likely an "uppity" brother like Obama (but if you are "uppity" like Mac's wife then that is call "class")

(con't)
Now the Palin bounce, is just a "new flavor of the month". It gets Mac supporters who were already going to vote for him something new to really get excited about. It is good to finally see a something different on the GOP ticket for the 1st time in HISTORY! As the GOP campaign mgr stated this race is NOT about issues (mentioned above but more about grandstanding). And Mac did a very strategic move. Palin is a consverative who is against abortion and STRONGLY favors no sex education but ABSTINENANCE instead (now, we see how that worked out). She also apposed the bridge to NOWHERE after public outcry (even though while as mayor she paid of part of the study & promotion). Now, Mac stopped talking about inexperience on Obama since he got Palin. It's important to note the most effective US Prez had limited/NO DC experience (Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, Kennedy, Lincoln). Go figure?

Obama's got a bulldog too & he likes to dig-in and his name is Biden. Just watch.

Top 25% average earning$64,702 pay 86.27% of all taxes

Top 10% average earning$108,904 Pay70.79% of all taxes and they go to Costco and they aint democrats..... but they pay the taxes......the other 13% is paid by the the lefty weanies and neo commies and lunatic fringe democrats

Joe "plugs "Biden the blowhard plagiarist ....dont make me start laughing so early

When Prez LF met with Charlie Rangel back in the spring to turn him against the new tabacco tax...It was Charlie who talked about my barrio where they roads were still dirt roads inside Santiago, raw sewage and black waters on the streets. How could Prez LF come to the US to advise Rangel when he had not taken care of the RD? Now, once Prez LF returned immediately the city went to work and paved the roads and tore down shack houses to rebuild them.

FACT: Rangel is a good man! As an Accountant & Economist all know you pay taxes on rental income BUT all do NOT know about international accountant & tax issues (many have savings accounts & CD's in the DR but do not claim the interest on their tax forms). This is something his Accountant should have caught. Trust me Magic, Micheal Jordan & Tigre are NOT doing their own taxes.

Americans under $66k will get an extra $1,042 under Obama but only $300 from Mac per Tax Policy Ctr! But, Mac will give his wife's family much MORE!

You are unhappy because you know this is not bounce this is America reacting to the sexist attacks on HillyBilly and now my beloved Sarah....You and Oberman and that bunch is no longer the fashion....If her name was Rodriguez you would change your tune ...you are all so transparently phony

I happen to love Costco better than Sams in my book

oooo

I direct your attention to "USA Today/Gallup 09/05 - 09/07 823 LV 54 44 McCain +10"

So, for the period of 09/05 - 09/07, the pollster Gallup finds McCain leads Obama by 10 points.

Next, I direct your attention to "Gallup Tracking 09/05 - 09/07 2733 RV 49 44 McCain +5."

So, for the same period of 09/05 - 09/07. the same pollster Gallup finds McCain leads Obama by 5 points.

EITHER if "USA Today/Gallup 09/05 - 09/07 823 LV 54 44 McCain +10" is true, then "Gallup Tracking 09/05 - 09/07 2733 RV 49 44 McCain +5" is a lie OR vice versa OR both Gallups are lies.

Both Gallups are lies, accounting for 15 false points for McCain.

Both Gallups depart from the findings of non-Gallups.

GC, where's the love? I am on your side. Great stats of Americans making $64k - $108k BUT... they all get BIGGER yearly annual REFUNDS via Obama (not Mac). BUT, Mac gives the biggest tax breaks to the UPPER% including $250,000+ because they need more assistance to buy bread & plantinos, right?

Anyone can GOOGLE up the non-partisan Tax Policy Center (or Comm) to review the FACTS:

How much is a gas in the DR? QUESTION: DT readers who needs the tax refunds more someone making $66 to $108k as noted by GC (or Exxon Mobil)? Why did corporate tax credits happen for firms making record profits? Ans: An Oil man in the Whitehouse!

The good about staying the course to go with Mac is: the US will find out how far or close ROCK BOTTOM really is...

GC, we all agree BELIAH SHOULD STAY IN HIS PLACE. But, Americans, are NOT stupid, many women see through the Palin move but the bounce will NOT last 60 days ...it is just the Sept flavor of the month (but wanes before Oct).

Before parties, we should be Americans! If its "COUNTRY FIRST" then why ship American jobs overseas via tax incentives while American tax payers (including GOP members) lose their homes?

I do NOT want the old course of "voodoo economics". Tax breaks should goto firms investing in US workers. There's a lot of Republicans talk & flag waving BUT as real taxpayers are hurting bad. Why talk military service & the value of US soldiers while voting against programs to help them? The Walter Reed Vet Hospital is a JOKE because Mac will NOT support it.

Yet, it is okay for Mac to take US tax monies to build

810 schools
4,800 Water & Sewage projects
1,047 Roads & Bridges

But, not in the US all these projects are in IRAQ who has a its own budget SURPLUS from oil (vs US deficits). While we pay to rebuild bridges in Iraq they are collapsing in the US..

Does anybody NOT see a problem in this model other than GC? It's incredible. I can't believe the GOP "smoke & mirrors".

It gets worse for the weanies every day Gallup poll had John McCain ahead of Barack Obama by an astonishing 10 points among likely voters. A Washington Post poll had that lead at only two points, but clearly showed a McCain surge - especially among women. This wasn't what Democrats were expecting when they left Denver - yet they have nobody to blame but themselves.

here is Joe "plugs" Biden the plagiarist trying to get a guy out of his wheelchair a la Oral Roberts...Biden is a moron ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRV5Y1JCGRI

Was GC the 1 that didn't get a thing that I said.?

The GOP led USA has been going down the past 8 years & GOP congress even longer. Personal incomes dropped under Bush I (remember "It's the economy stupid" that costs the election).

Now, it's the same show but different year under Bush II who is clueless as American incomes retreat even more thus reversing the gains made under Clinton. There will be Obama-republicans who were in Katrina & Rita with no help, lost jobs & income and lost their homes for the 1st time to foreclosure.

Of course, there will be many red states like Mississippi who will vote for Mac (even though they are the poorest in the USA & would be better under off under Obama-nomics but make decisions upon RACE). I do not expect much from these types of places where in the poor rural back woods of MS is not different from the DR campos. But GC, what do you expect from places like Pisswater, MS where cousins marry?

Read polls - how your tax $ rebuild IRAQ

jd not to worry Sarah will fix everything

here is a good laugh...".Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they'd start speaking Spanish," Rangel said.

The explanation was greeted with skepticism by some people in his district, where Spanish is the primary language in nearly half the households. Rangel's congressional Web site can be instantly translated to Spanish with two clicks of a computer mouse.

GC, somehow I do not feel better thinking that "Sarah will fix everything". What are you referring to gas prices, housing foreclosures, record budget deficits (reversing surpluses under Clinton)...I could go on. Surely, you are not referring to her anti-abortion, no sex education and abstaining from sex policy for youth (because we know how that works). Every candidate wants to fix the US including the current Bush so, it is an issue of "effective policies" vs ineffective. The current state of the nation speaks for the effectiveness of the Republicans ...wouldn't you have to agree?

Honestly, I like Sarah & enjoying seeing her more than Mac because she is cute & maybe a little hot but that does not connect with matching the correct solutions with our country's problems. That is key!

It will be the Bush agenda as usual never had the US economic stats been this bad since the great depression! We would have seen this earlier if Dad Bush I had a 2nd term so, lets put Country Fir

See there you go again sweet and hot .....Oink Oink...

Even when Rep. Charles Rangel tries to explain how he got into his tax mess, he mangles the facts so much it's easy to see how his accounts — and accountants — are muddled. And this from the lawmaker who has such a big say in determining who pays taxes and how much.

The chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee spent the past week reeling from a series of embarrassing revelations: He failed to report about $75,000 in rental income over two decades from a beach villa he owns in the Dominican Republic; he owes about $5,000 in back taxes to the government; he never knew he paid no interest on the villa's mortgage for more than a decade.

The New York Democrat is resisting calls from Republicans that he should lose his committee post, among the most coveted on Capitol Hill. The House ethics committee has begun inspecting Rangel's personal and professional life...Curtains for Charley

His excuse of “cultural and language barriers” with Dominican officials was, simply, offensive. “Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” complained Mr. Rangel.......No speeky spanish no speeky spanish
