DC Tom Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Someone want to tell me how this is protecting the middle class? I hope the public outcry causes the guy to make a public statement to the effect of "Under the law, I earned it, so !@#$ you, it's mine." Because under the law, he earned it, so !@#$ us. Maybe then they'll get around to changing the breathtakingly stupid law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Look in the comments....some turd is talking about corporation's lack of accountability....under this article? Yeah, that's right, this is also the evil corporation's fault. "You'd understand if you'd been to college for a semester, man." When I talk about affected...or psychologically committed....this is what I mean. We simply cannot allow people like this to be in charge of anything. This is how we end up spending $4 trillion and getting nothing in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Why limit it at Chicago? It's more accurate to say "political corruption" is redundant.

TPS Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Chicago just seems to lead the way, with the whole state not being far behind. There are varying degrees, but there isn't a city, county or state in the nation where you can't find a corrupt politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 There are varying degrees, but there isn't a city, county or state in the nation where you can't find a corrupt politician. Or town. I lived in Cheektowaga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Fixed I should have stopped the subtle shift that was putting it all on "politicians" when the real beneficiary here is a union guy. It does take two to tango though. Thanks for keeping it focused on where it should be focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Why limit it at Chicago? It's more accurate to say "political, union and business corruption" is redundant. Fixed again. Haven't we really become a nation where the modus operandi of most leaders, in ALL types of institutions, is "how can I use my position to make me wealthy, whether it's legal or not?"

Haven't we really become a nation where the modus operandi of most leaders, in ALL types of institutions, is "how can I use my position to make me wealthy, whether it's legal or not?" I know many people in business with a high degree of integrity. Obviously people high up in the City of Chicago's administration had to be complicit along with the scumbag union guy but no need for you to paint with a broad brush. Bringing in politicians and business people to the equation isn't going to water down the crap the union guy and city officials pulled.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 What, none of the union stooges are going to stop by to tell us "unions aren't perfect"? No. But we will get people justifyiing how 16 dollar muffins is how some business "make their money." This is flat our wrong and to be dammed with the law. Same with the Illinois pensions. Just stiff every one of them... Cut it right down to nothing... Then if all these fat-cats want to get lawyers and sue.. Let 'em... Then take it to the media and villianize all the scum bag lawyers. Make it a full class war. Again... The problem with Illinois is that they are honoriing their bat-schit laws... Just stiff them. Fixed again. Haven't we really become a nation where the modus operandi of most leaders, in ALL types of institutions, is "how can I use my position to make me wealthy, whether it's legal or not?" And where do you think that bled over from? The private sector. Is there really any honorable civil servants anymore? How do we restore "faith in City Hall" again like we did during the first half of the 20th century? Look at the Blago mess. Look how Rahm behaves. These are dysfunctional behaviors that are cut from carving out a niche during the lawyer/banker days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
