WASHINGTON - Newly released documents show New York Sen. Charles Schumer made almost $100,000 in royalties last year from his book, "Positively American."

People are starting to ask me why Im targeting Schumer, when all of the Senate Democrats and some Republicans are no better than Schumer. The answer is no one else has advocated a tax increase for the consumer to punish Oil companies, when he driven around on the taxpayer dime. That really galls me that we pay for his gas and he makes statements like that..

[San Jacinto]

It had to be a phoney Jim Wright kind of deal— a cover for bribe money. Shumer couldn’t read a book, much less write one.

How about a windfall profits tax on your book income.

I already asked a staffer. I dont think he even knew what I was talking about. But yes, thats angle we are going at him with..

No questions here... Slam away on Chuckie!

How many trees were cut down for wood pulp in order to print Chuckie’s silly book?

Better yet, how much taxpayer gas and money was used on it?

“schumer made almost $100,000 on book...”

how about a windfall profits tax on his income. it’s just unfair and reeks of social injustice that he should keep all that money.

absolutely shameful.

(how about a 45% to 60% tax. no, no. make that70%. that makes me feel better.)

You guys make me so proud..

Caught a rumor that when Schumer was just starting out in politics he ran as a socialist in races. Any proof of that do you know? Or if it is true, did it go down the memory hole? Libs like to rewrite history.
Target him all you want. He is a major anti-American.

rotflmao.

thank you. (you have kindled my ambition.)

So, in other words, Rodale Publishing paid Chuckie at least $99,999.95 too much.

No, they paid him 100k too much. Senators shouldnt be profiting off of books while in office if they want different treatment for others. Like, for instance, Oil companies..

[Vesuvian]

I agree entirely.

And let’s not forget all the money paid to them to give commencement addresses at colleges and even high schools- talk about a windfall, who would pay Chuckie to give a speech if he wasn’t a senator? What wisdom can he impart to anybody?

Just galling.

[cardinal4]

He thinks he speaks for me, and thats what galls me the most. Haranguing Oil company execs on the Senate Floor, is like beating up handicapped kids; its just plain cowardly..

"Schumer made almost $100,000 from book"

Obscene profits!!

[bravo whiskey]

is this $100,000 before or after he paid the guy who actually wrote the book?

[TigersEye]

I don't know why anyone would wonder why you're aiming at Schumer. One of the slimiest pols there is. Rent "Waco: Rules of Engagement" and see what a despicable scumbag he is.

Good point. Chuckie is about as stooopid as Babs Boxer.

[bamahead]

Not only that, but it appears as though he likes to create runs on banks that don't donate to the DSCC, which he chairs:
