Madoff Gets 150.. Uncle Sam Goes Scott Free
Bernard Madoff received 150 years in prison for doing exactly what Social Security and Medicare have done to the American people.Ain't life grand.
Bernie, you should have been a politician.
Well a fool and his money are soon parted goes the saying. And the love of money surpasses even the love of G-d for most. The comments that have come out of the entire fiasco are pretty revealing as to where people place their love and values.
Often times when you hear of a horrific murder trial you hear of the family "forgiving" the killer.Even in cases of rape etc. you hear the family or the victim saying, "we forgive" . "We forgive. We just ask that this never happen again"...etc.
In the case of money, however, there are rarely calls for forgiveness,just revenge and plenty of it! So what's up that lost money is unforgivable but murder is?
I recall one person saying that what Bernard Madoff did was worse than murder. I believe it was a serious statement. But, who knows. It is revealing though and today the press is filled with comments calling it an , "indescribably heinous crime" .
There is even forgiveness for 9 11. Wow. The holocaust is "unfortunate portion of history" but stealing money is a heinous crime. Just calling attention to the weight that things are given by humanity.
Bernie, it's too bad it involved money . If it had involved killing you would probably be forgiven.
The AP began it's article with the words "Historic swindler ". It seems they never heard of the social security/medicare ponzi schemes that dwarf Madoff all get out.
In this world murder and rape and all manner of crimes are "forgiven" but steal a dollar and you will be ruined for the rest of your life, unless, that is, you are a government.
Killing , bombing , terror are given all the excuses in the world, but take a buck and all bets are off.
I marvel at the things the world holds in highest value.
Remember when Eli Weisel said (about Madoff) "we thought he was God"...
When people lose all their money, it's like they have lost their will to live. They no longer know how to exist without it. Getting over this 'change' in life can take a long time, and some people never quite manage it.
So basically, they think he killed their lives, even though they are still breathing.
I'm more concerned about the blog post on top of this one, the fact that Americans can no longer sell their houses unless they've been "approved". Sounds very worrying.
GREAT POST!
You spoke my sentiments exactly.
Keep it up.
Madoff would have been better off being a terrorist. He would have got lovely accommodations at Club Gitmo and a super short sentence. : )
Yes Devorah, exactly. I am concerned that people are placing their hopes and faith in money and politics. It never works.
Yo, right you are.
BS"D
Your attention is brought to the statement of the Admou"r meCreedmoor, in which he explains that the best way not to end up swindled by another Madoff scheme is by not paying Social Security taxes...
