If Representative John Carter doesn’t see Charlie Rangel’s tax returns soon, the Texas Republican will lead another charge to have Rangel removed from his post atop the House Ways and Means Committee. Carter is the same Texas Republican who tried and failed to oust Rangel in October. “Every tax attorney in the country will tell you that if a normal taxpayer committed the violations of Chairman Rangel, they would be assessed serious penalties and interest, if not charged with criminal tax evasion,” Carter said. Obviously, his mistake is assuming Rangel is normal.
