Class action suit against bill clinton. Bill clinton made many statements about what kind of behavior we would see if he were elected president. Of course campaign promises are just that, promises. No politician is all powerful, so I think there is tolerance for a hard worker who just can't obtain or control resources the way they intended to. This says nothing about his behavior, however. Lying, perjuring, obstructing, cheating, etc. is not simply the lack of ability to accomplish what one hopes to, it is behavior founded on the desire and intention to deceive. We elected him to the Executive Office of our land based on his assurances and oaths to perform his duties according to some specific behavioral criteria. We have paid huge piles of taxes to have him carry out those duties according to the agreed upon criteria. 1) In any rule governed situation where I intentionally violate rules I lose my right to continue in the situation. If, for example, I am a student and I misbehave I am removed from the classroom. 2) If I am a worker and I break any agreement with my employer I get fired. Lying to my employer about what I am doing would be automatic grounds for dismissal. 3) If I accept money to execute a large project, I agree to follow certain guidelines. If I don't and the funders are unsatisfied with the results they would likely win a law suit to recover the funds. In campaigning for Presidency bill clinton gave many assurances of what kind of behavior he would have as a public servant. In accepting the position of President of the United States, bill clinton vowed to an oath of office which has been broken many times. When he took office my tax funds were made available to the executive branch of the government to manage the affairs of this country according to agreed upon rules, guidelines, assurances, and sworn oaths. This establishes a social contract with the tax payers of this country, whether as individuals or as a group. The whole group of tax payers might not choose (as indicated by the popularity polls)to exact retribution. That does not preclude individuals or subgroups from contesting his actions. Having intentionally violated any oath, assurance, agreed upon rules and guidelines perpetrates a breach of contract. Well anyway that's what I meant. I want my money back.
