Bawney Fwank knows some things, economics isn’t one of those.

I think a legal defense of insanity seems plausible

Is the big A eating away at his brain? There are plenty of rich people to soak and pay for the low-lifes to sit on their a$$es. Plenty of small business owners to rape.

Of course it never occurs to Bawney Fwank, nor any liberal for that matter, that “the RICH” aren’t just gonna sit still and be taxed to death for “the good of the many”. They’ll do what they always do, “That which makes them wealthy” in the first place. They’ll take themselves and their wealth out of a “tax the rich” country and put themselves and their wealth where it will continue to make them more wealth, overseas. The libs never, ever take into consideration human nature. They see the world as a “static” place, constant, never changing. The pie never gets bigger.......

Likely dropped all investigations as part of a plea bargain.

Plenty of rich people that we can ROB. Wealth cannot be spread only destroyed. Idiot, evil materialists like Barney think that wealth is some static substance that they can redistribute. It is a state of being an can no more be transferred that can health. I cannot workout and diet for you no matter how much you pay me o r beg me. Gotta do it yourself.

I saw a campaign commercial against Saxby Chambliss yesterday. It said that he pushed for a 23% national retail sales tax! And that’s it. And liberals wonder why so few trust them.

Barney Frank: Plenty of rich people that we can tax )
WOW. I agree with Baahhrnny Frank.
Lets see. How about we start with Nancy Pelosi and her husband. Then we can MOVEOn to George Soros. After that Reid. Frank himself, Kerry and his wife, and lets not forget those terrific Americans that make millions of dollars doing nothing of import like movie actors and actress and dried up singers.
No exemptions (Zero as in Obama’s accomplishments) and flat tax them.
Lets see how bad Obama and Franks really want to tax the rich....

By the time you get back, "rich" will be redefined to mean anybody making over 25k a year.

When socialists are in charge the rules change daily to suit THEIR agenda.

And when you run out of rich, you can tax the middle-class.
