Let’s see...tax evasion, lying under oath...to name only a couple. If an ordinary citizen did this he/she would go to jail. If a congressman does it they get “a reprimand.” Sorry. This doesn’t cut it. Those in Congress work for the American people. They need to be held to at least an equal standard if not a higher one. Anything short of expulsion from Congress for Charlie Rangel is a joke. So much for Pelosi’s claim of “draining the swamp.” The swamp is Congress. And it is full of waste and corruption.

I agree and I vote for higher. They make the laws for us but use their own power to circumvent the laws by deceiving. They use what we give them to come against us (taxpayers). It crosses the equal line to one of power/a higher standard, IMO.
