Higgs On Fire: Madoff a petty crook, compared to…

Robert Higgs is on fire, as usual, in his latest article. He logically compares and contrasts Bernie Madoff’s crimes to that of our own government.

Here is a sampling:

President Barack Obama and the sitting members of Congress have not been charged, much less convicted and sentenced, for crimes that make Bernie Madoff’s look like child’s play. Note well: I am referring here not to the assorted murders, assaults, and batteries for which these men and women are manifestly guilty—I say guilty because they not only admit these crimes, but proudly take public credit for them—but to certain of their strictly financial crimes.

Read the rest, you’ll be glad you did.

    Higgs is absolutely correct. Our nation was invaded in 1913 and administration has not yet changed mafia families. Constitutional corruption still exists. 1935 the Supreme court ruled that "Congress cannot abdicate it's duty and delegate another group" It has usurped States Rights in the 13th Amendment. All remaining powers … It, the federal government, cannot do.
