Fair?

Can you believe Mitt when he says "we have to close the loopholes?"

Republican policies legalize Fraud, and corruption, and have for decades, mostly since Reagan. He was really the crooked POS who launched a lot of these lop sided economic scams which have devastated American Workers.

Then their followers deny any wrong doing by saying nothing was illegal! We watched this horror story expand during Bush.

They just make everything that is totally wrong, including theft and fraud, and policies which are completely unfair, & damaging to our country, Perfectly Legal, (that was a book title, BTW, written during Bush et al)and the right, Without conscience and then their followers slurp it right up, no questions asked, no problemo!

I never thought they would go so far as to try to legalize RAPE! That's exactly what they're up to now!

Inbelievable!

PIGS!

A black guy caught with some weed can serve 5 years.
A banker caught ripping off his clients gets a stern talking to.

And a white Wall St. banker thief gets caught with cocaine, and doesn't even get arrested! He just hands over a few thousand, and a little coke, and walks away scott free.

AMEN Brother! Your two examples in comparison exhibit the lost justice here in the USA. The damdest third worst example to add is how George Walker Bush evaded the treason rope, plus he now remains on our tax dollars in luxury. We developed into a communist nation long ago and nobody told us about it. Depressing, but true, and it's not going to ever be changed without an actual uprising. Sucks! sid
