re: "The stealing was done legally." Message #23267 from rich evans at 3/12/2011 5:56:22 PM The stealing was done legally. Check out the Unified Budget Act of 1974 for the authority to use the SS funds and replace the money with a bookkeeping entry not only for SS but every other agency- Transportation, FDIC you name it. ============================================== "The stealing was done legally." You'd think that would be an oxymoron, but instead, it's become the American way. It's no longer about what's moral, what's ethical, or what's right. It depends on what your definition of "is," is. And then we use that definition of legality, no matter how unethical, how immoral, or how wrong it is, to rationalize both their criminality and our apathy. From John Yoo's torture memos, to Hank Paulson's $800 billion dollar extortion of Congress, to allowing the TSA to take naked body scans of our children and stick their hands down our pants, we rationalize their criminality and our apathy by convincing ourselves it was all "legal." Remember those words... "The stealing was done legally." ...because it's about to become the epitaph on America's gravestone. SOT "V" B
