why isn't anyone upset with the government's ponzi scheme...social security

[bajajohn1]

So if the majority of the contributors to this Ponzi scheme were Democrats, why then do you think the SEC enforcement division-- after given a blueprint of this illegal scheme--did not prosecute? Do you think the White House halted any plans to prosecute?.

Don't blame Bush for Madoff.

Madoff had immunity because of Clinton.

Bush couldn't touch Madoff because of double jeopardy.

You can't be charged twice for the same crime. Even if you were acquitted the first time, you can't be charged again.

That's what happened to Madoff. He was turned in during the Clinton administration. But the Clinton admin decided not to take any action.

That gave Madoff immuniity from being charged again.

Thank Bill Clinton for giving Madoff a free pass for 8 years.

Considering how long the line will be the whole process should only take about 10 years, that of course means chopping 24/7.

Are you questioning your God and his omnipotent power? I am not advocating the death of our species. According to "the story," you Christians will have a free ride into bliss. It really isn't fair to you in that the end will be no surprise because you already have all the inside info. For those of us who choose not to believe in fairytales, it is all going to be a big surprise (I like surprises), of course, that takes a certain amount of courage.

GOD made all the species and the difference between the humans and all others is the fact that he gave humans free will. YOU SIR represent the gift of free will gone astray

And you sir are the product of fairytales. You have no free will, only what the ignorant right tells you to believe. Nothing you say is based in truth or fact. You are the product of the lies perpetrated on you and you, sir, have never had an original thought that has not been engrained in your feeble devolved brain. You have proved my point about mankind being the lowest species on the evolutionary tree because you have bought into the biggest lie ever perpetrated on mankind. You, sir, are the quintessential narcissist which makes you no different than any of our species Just because man can formulate ideas in his feeble brain does not mean he is superior to other species, it just means he has a weapon of evil that other species do not possess. Oh, I'm sorry, I just got on your last Repukican nerve.

Oldtimer1941 Says: (para)

"What's the difference between Madoff, Charlie Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and lets say the Obama Cabinet and the ones that had to resign because of tax evation? My answer, there is none except for the amount of the fraud........."

Very true, good, Sir. But I have to add the most heinous criminals of government yet to be given serious enough scrutiny:

Bill Clinton, G.W. Bush, D. Cheney, B. Tauzan, Phil "GOTDAMN" Gramm, AEI, Rand Corp, Lie-Ber-Terrorist, DLCers and ThirdWayers and finally Sec of the Treasury Rubens and Summers. The former evil and greedy, the later evil and stupid.
