Just a few years ago Charlie Rangel (D) was nailed for not paying his taxes.
His defense?
He claimed the tax laws were so complicated he couldn't understand them.
Mind you this guy was on the House Ways and Means Committee, which writes our tax laws.
And what was his punishment?
He paid the back taxes, little/no fines, and got a Congressional 'censure' whatever the hell that means.
He retired a few years later, with full taxpayer funded retirement benefits.
Why wouldn't they all cheat?
