Dear Mr President-Make a REAL EXAMPLE of the bastards that got us into this mess! [View All]

[mod mom]

So many families, who have played by the rules, worked hard, saved not for lavish lifestyles but to buy a home, put their kids through school or to save for retirement are seeing their dreams come to a crashing halt. Why the fuck should the bastards who have grossly profited and milked the system for their own enrichment not face justice for their actions? Bonuses for failing companies is blatant insanity! Tax rates that allow the obscenely wealthy to pay an overall lower rate than working men and women are blatant insanity! If the President and his team want to instill faith in the system, then it's time to make a fucking example of those who allowed this to happen, even if it includes members close to the administration! IANAL, but it sounds to me that maybe some of those RICO rules might apply here (from wiki):

RICO offenses

Under the law, racketeering activity means:
Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and several other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
Embezzlement of union funds;
Bankruptcy or securities fraud;
Drug trafficking;
Money laundering and related offenses;
Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
Acts of terrorism.

No club-fed, no safety nets for their families, make a real example of these bastards, so no one will ever contemplates pulling this shit again. Pass some true oversight and regulations over businesses, then you can start restoring faith in the system.

PS and don't forget some of the biggest assholes alive-the WAR PROFITEERS!

:rant: sorry, but I had little sleep and am angry beyond words!
