Massa never lets a day go by without saying Randy should return money from "Big Oil" and anyone that has anything to do with gasoline, where they haven't done anything illegal. The important distinction here is that Charlie Randy is the Chairman of the Tax-Writing Committee and he's a tax evader! If he did it on purpose, he's incredibly brazen. If he did it 'by accident' then he's incredibly stupid. He's also said publicly he's for huge tax increases (of course he is, since 'someonone' isn't paying them) and for not allowing businesses who locate off-shore to shelter themselves from U.S. taxes, yet that's exactly what he did with his vacation home in the Carribbean. It's amazing that the Dems let him stay in the Ways and Means Chair, but even more so that Massa continues to be close to him having taken in almost $66k and a fundraiser in NYC with him coming up on October 6. If he was smart, he'd return the money to the US treasury to make up for Rangel's evasion, and refuse any money from the NY fundraiser. But I doubt he'd do that. Excellent point, Mr. Spector.
