Well at least he’s honest.
Nobody goes to jail for:
- Ripping you off for $3 trillion a year. Which is done right now, here, and today via the entire Health care sector of our economy. All of this is illegal under 100+ year old law (15 USC Chapter 1) and is a criminal felony. But nobody should got to jail for it.
- Bilking old ladies out of their retirement savings. Nope. No jail. Thanks Joe; now that I know this is no longer jailable I should be able to do exactly that, right?
- Intentionally addicting people to drugs, such as opioids. Oh, nobody’s done that, have they? Uh…..
- Ripping off the government. Medicare fraud anyone? Medicaid fraud? Invoicing the government for something never provided, or which was not manufactured or provided to-spec — on purpose? No problem.
- Hiding income or otherwise cheating on taxes. Now that’ll work for a lot of people. It’s now a 100% “free” crime; no jail.
- Made-Off is free on inauguration day, right? It’s not like Bernie did anything wrong, right? Certainly nothing worth being jailed over.
- Financial fraud of all sorts. Stock scam? Fine. Cloning credit cards? Fine. Scamming someone via a wire fraud scheme? Fine. Ripping off a company? Fine. Shoplifting? Perfectly ok. Looting? No problem, as long as you didn’t break the window first — someone else has to do that for you.
- ALL of those prosecuted during Trump’s Presidency from his inner circle. None of those are crimes of violence; they’re all “process crimes.” Free them all.
- Oh, and Trump himself, once he leaves office. But, but, but, but, but…… I thought the left wanted to go after him? Oops — pardon incoming!
- Flint’s water supply and scams associated with same? All ok! It’s only lead in the water — no big deal. It’s not a crime of violence, so all is forgiven. For that matter so is poisoning the air, ground and water in any form — there’s no violence involved here, so there’s no jail. Oh well.
- Drunk driving? No problem. Just as long as you don’t hit anyone, which could be considered a violent assault. Thanks Joe!
