Where Is The Outrage?

From the New York Post
"CHARLIE'S TROPICAL DEAL
SCORED NO-INTEREST MORTGAGE ON VILLA"
CHARLIE'S TROPICAL DEAL - New York Post

Controversial Rep. Charles Rangel, already under fire for not paying taxes on income from a beachfront villa he owns in a Dominican resort, also got an interest-free mortgage on the sun-soaked property, his lawyer revealed yesterday.

The embattled chairman of the Ways and Means Committee got the mortgage deal along with six other investors in the Caribbean resort, founded by a major campaign contributor.

His lawyer, Lanny Davis, also conceded that the Harlem Democrat didn't declare about $75,000 in rental income from his lush villa with panoramic ocean views at the Punta Cana Yacht Club. "Charlie Rangel is the designated leader on tax policy in the Democrat-led Congress, but while he is authoring massive tax hikes to exact on middle-class Americans, he is apparently dodging the IRS at all costs," said Ken Spain, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.


If this was a Republican they would of been run out of town by the MSM.
