They don't see it as corruption, but rather an entitlement to a pool of taxpayer money that is available for them to redistribute. And they see themselves as being entitled to be on the receiving end of the line...
It sure seems so. This situation with Rangle really speaks to this. The GOP seem to be the only ones who really take their own to task when they are found to be deep in something bad.
The Dems??? They just circle the wagons......shrug the shoulders and move on....

Rangel, who has served in the House for nearly 40 years, reportedly failed to report as much as $1.3 million in income from 2002 to 2006. In 2008, the New York Post reported that Rangel failed to disclose $75,000 in rental income.
In June 2009, the House Ethics Subcommittee opened a probe of Rangel's trips to conferences in the Caribbean, and in August Rangel disclosed more than $500,000 in previously unreported assets.
"These are glaring tax violations and he has paid no penalties or interest," said John Stone, a spokesman for Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, who is leading the effort to oust Rangel from his post.
