I
think it's time for Congress to take action to prevent prosecuting
attorneys from penalizing innocent people for the misdeeds of
corporate America. As just a few examples, Toyota, General Motors,
General Electric, Bank of America and a host of other banks, have
been fined billions of dollars for their misdeeds. The people
committing these deeds are not punished, instead their stockholders
and people investing in their hard earned dollars in 401k plans are
fined. In a number of cases, the perps are even given bonuses. Our
own Governor, escaped prosecution for his company's stealing from
medicare. While he walked away with millions, his stockholders had to
foot the bill. All this is happening while some Republicans want
smaller government and less regulation of these vampires of our free
enterprise system. Really?
Taxpayers
are, of course, footing the bill for the investigation of the illegal
acts. While prosecutors are obviously only interested in enhancing
their own stature, and settle the suits for what ever the perps are
willing to pay, using other people's money. This way they don't have
to spend their time on a length trial.
OK!
Representative Posey, Here's a chance for you to shine. Fix it.
