Issue Position: Government Corruption

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Taxes

- I hereby promise that rooting out the corruption in my own party will be among my top priorities!

- How is it possible that Charles B. Rangel (D-NY), the Chairman of the ways and means committee (the chief tax-writing committee of the United States House of Representatives) can fail to report $75,000 in income and $500,000 in assets to the IRS, get away with it, and not have to pay any penalties or interest?

- If you or I were delinquent on our taxes, we'd not only have to the pay penalties and interest to the IRS; we might even go to jail. Our elected officials do not have to worry about the law in the same way you or I do. The laws only apply to them when the public becomes outraged with their disgusting behavior. For the sake of our country, our future, and our children's future, this has to change!

- Justice should be blind and nobody should be above the law!
