Political Rant Time

I have been off the soap box for a bit but I have returned.

Bernie Madoff- I know that justice has not been blind in America for a while but to so blatantly see injustice makes me fear for the future. Not only is justice gone common sense has fled also. There is no doubt of guilt yet he stays in a penthouse while the joe crook who robs the 7-11 sits in jail till he is tried and sentenced. I believe it is cruel and unusual punishment for his victims who have lost their life savings to be losing their homes and become homeless while he the criminal lives high on the hog.

Tim Geitner- Obama's choice to lead the country out of the economic pit greed and crime has dug us in. He doesn't know he should pay his taxes. When he gets caught by the IRS for not paying for 4 years he say he made a honest mistake. Does he make it right?
Nope, due to statute of limitations he actually got away without paying for 2 of those years. He owes it but there is nothing they can do to make him pay.

So what is the moral of all this?

Crime does pay.
The rich are "too big to fail".
The average American is too small to succeed.

I miss the times where people felt bad for doing wrong and tried to make it right.
