Living Large on the Taxpayers' Dime
Congressmen have been traveling in style, driving extravagantly expensive luxury cars and leaving it for us to pay the bills — including not only the leases but gas, insurance, and registration.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks' Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.
As you might have surmised from the suppression of party affiliation, all of these parasites are Democrats.
Charlie Rangel explains himself:
The car isn't just a vehicle for getting around; it's an important part of doing my job and my constituents appreciate it.
Rangel is the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. He's in charge of how the money expropriated from your paycheck gets flushed away. It's nice to know people appreciate it.
On a tip from V the K.

Cadillacs are among the highest polluting low gas milage cars around. Is Al Bore aware of his carbon spewing ways?

The mayor of KC was offered a brand new Honda Accord but opted to keep his 99' Toyota Corrolla.
He looks a little like Lurch, but he is a former accountant trying to heal our woes.
He was recently under fire by the black community for not renewing an overpaid contract to the city manager. Check it out.

"...how the money expropriated from your paycheck gets flushed away"
I was always under the impression it was "extorted from my paycheck" since they will send me to prison if I "don't pay up".

I always think of it as b>extorting from my paycheck because if I don't pay up, I get to go live in women's prison.

"Parasite" is indeed the appropriate term for this scum. God, the sight of Charlie Wrangle's fat, disgusting face always gives me the urge to vomit.

I would like to show Mr. Rangel how much I appreciate him riding around in a luxury car while passing laws that make it a struggle to keep my economy car on the road...except I don't want to live in an 8x10 room with with steel bunks.

Rangel is pushing hard (and Clintoon and Osama-Obama back it) to reach into every 'rich American's' 401k and take a 'one time' 15% fee/tax/grab of the total to put into social programs.............
This will happen, don't kid your self otherwise.
Add to it that he will support a 30% Capital Gains Tax......... he's got his scams and money, what does he care......?
