Three days ago, Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter stopped running for the Republican presidential nomination. I did not notice. Did you?
If a Thaddeus McCotter campaigned in the forest, and there was nobody there to see it, would it be legal to vote for him?
McCotter will now focus his efforts on running for re-election to Congress in his newly-shaped district in southeast Michigan. As he does so, he may have a difficult time explaining his bill, H.R. 2889, which would funnel money out of stable Social Security accounts and into volatile Wall Street accounts, where financial elites can place the money into risky hedge fund schemes of the sort that led to the current economic slump.
Why not? it’s the only remaining significant source of wealth that hasn’t already been stolen from us wealth creators (labor) .
