I guess this means that they can raise taxes all they want and we don't have to pay them, until it looks like we are getting some nice, cushy Govt. job.......yeah right! They would put any of us in Jail if we did what he Admitted he did. >:(

They say we must over look that he is a TAX CHEAT. They say no one else in America is smart enough to help us like can.

Christ, they justify a crook and set such an example to the children of this country that some of us are struggling to teach right from wrong.

Nothing less than a discrace.

Wow!  I just finished reading every post in this thread--on dial-up.  A couple of things are apparent.  1.  Both sides had a good reason to drink heavily on Inauguration eve.  2.  If you wrestle with a pig you both get muddy, but only the pig enjoys it.  3.  As read on someone else's signature line:  A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.

I did more than puke! I sent Mr Cornyn an Email letting him know how i felt and how i will not support that kind of behavior from my Representative!  What are these fools thinking?

I urge all of you to google mr cornyn and drop him a line about how you feel about this decision and maybe your represenative also if you are not from Texas

Enough ruminating!  It's time for action.  Are there no attorneys on this forum who can advise us of the correct, legal procedure for us  citizens to remove the elected morons who endorsed this crook?

Contact your Senators and let them know how you feel.  If they did right, tell them.  If they did wrong, tell them , and tell them why, and what you intend to do about it.  Elected officials only respond to the scents of money or votes.  Don't allow the screw-ups to remain in office.

Look at the bright side; at least this Treasury Sec. believes in paying less taxes.  Now if he can get his stupid halfrican boss to think that way.
