POLITICAL corruption - Abstract
The article discusses the career of U.S. Congressman Charles Rangel who received the political endorsement of then-New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. The author lists Rangel's alleged acts of political corruption, including using rent-stabilized apartments, tax loopholes, and the rental income he had not declared on his taxes. The article compares Rangel's indiscretions with U.S. Congressman Charles Schumer's, and concludes that U.S. President-elect Barack Obama should avoid Rangel.
