HomeMore Legalized Bribery!!!
Posted by Larry Doyle on February 21, 2009 6:43 PM |
Why do I believe we will see a wave of material on this topic? Well, whenever I see it I plan on updating my post Legalized Bribery so that Former Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and current CIA head Leon Panetta are continually vindicated.
Who lived rent free for 5 years in the Washington townhouse of a CT Congressman, directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to that Congressman’s husband’s lobbying effort, served on the board of Freddie Mac when it stifled Republican overtures, and now serves one door away from the Oval office?
Did Rahm Emanuel declare that rent-free arrangement as income? Did he pay taxes on it? Did he share that arrangement with the Congressional ethics committee? Rahm’s ‘Rent’ Is Just the Tip of Ethics Iceberg.
Change? No, this Legalized Bribery has been going on for a while.

[...] While politicians, bankers, regulators, and commentators can and will point fingers as to where and how our system of financial oversight broke down, make no mistake it was due to too many people making and taking too much money!! I have highlighted the grotesque system of lobbying that has developed and corrupted our society in More Legalized Bribery. [...]
Larry you are absolutely correct but this is just the tip of the iceberg. The media is just as corrupt and in the hands of the political elite. We will never hear the truth because the crooks are in charge of the disseminating information.
Everybody is working an angle and the general public is getting screwed. I am as competitive as they come but that does not mean one has to subvert or mitigate moral decency and integrity.
