More financial chicanery from House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel, aka the man who writes the tax laws in this country. Apparently he has amended his 2007 financial disclosure forms to report additional holdings that effectively double his net worth. Funny how that works. I'm sure the IRS wouldn't be very understanding if I started pulling such shenanigans on my tax returns, but for a corrupt Congressman, anything goes. Too bad the people of New York City don't care that they keep electing a crook. Perhaps if the New York Times would actually report this kind of thing somewhere in the vicinity of their front page, people might realize it. Don't count on that happening though.
