Re. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), addressing Democrats and Occupiers at the "Occupy the Dream" on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Chicago, demands that the rich pay their fair share. Schakowsky's husband, Robert Creamer, went to federal prison in 2006 on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion. Schakowsky herself allegedly signed the errant tax returns, but was not prosecuted.

Dems receive more campaign cash from Bain Capital than Republicans Rick Moran Nothing like a little schadenfreude to get the day started. The Hill: Democrats have accepted more political donations than Republicans from executives at Bain Capital, complicating the left's plan to attack Mitt Romney for his record at the private equity firm. During the last three election cycles, Bain employees have given Democratic candidates and party committees more than $1.2 million. The vast majority of that sum came from senior executives. Republican candidates and party committees raised over $480,000 from senior Bain executives during that time period. Recipients include Democratic senators facing tough reelection races this year, such as Jon Tester (Mont.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Bill Nelson (Fla.). The Hill reviewed contributions made from the 2008, 2010 and 2012 cycles. Romney has collected more money from Bain Capital employees than any federal candidate since the beginning of 2007, amassing more than $166,000 in contributions. He took more than $84,000 from Bain employees in the first three quarters of 2011. But President Obama received a sizable share as well. He has accepted more than $80,000 from Bain employees since the beginning of 2007. Bain Capital employees gave $27,500 to Obama during the first three quarters of 2011. I doubt that returning the money will fool anyone. The fact is, Democrats have been outraising the GOP among financial services companies by a large margin and the Dems eagerly accepting contributions from Bain and their executives is just part of that. It won't stop Obama from going after Romney for being "rich." But I'll bet mentions of Bain by the Democrats will begin to fade very quickly. Read more: americanthinker.com
