Yep. Ronald “Dutch” Reagan still holds the record for members of his administration convicted for breaking the law. Over 100 as I recall…..not even the Bush pardons helped get him down to second place….

The answer is simple … OBAMA and DEMOCRATS.

The corruption began with Obama and the Dems? You’ll need to back up that statement with independent support.

That’s similar to what they said in the 1980’s;
The answer is simple …
REAGAN and DEMOCRATS.
And in the 1990’s;
The answer is simple …
CLINTON and REPUBLICANS.
And in the 2000’s
The answer is simple …
BUSH and REPUBLICANS.
I would say the answer is complicated and starts with … NIXON and the POWELL (Lewis) and the Powell Memorandum.

Hey Bernie, it’s called “corporate cronyism”. If you are good friends with the president your company pays no taxes. And if you are a member of the other protected class you pay no taxes either, in fact the government will cut you a check.
The current tax system is a violation of the 14th Amendment (equal protection) and needs to be done away with. Everyone should be treated equally and everyone should have some “skin in the game” and our current tax system produces just the opposite result.
Carla Akins February 7th, 2015 at 07:18
You are absolutely right. But you failed to mention these are Republican initiated, endorsed and protected tax cuts to corporations do not produce jobs, are the direct result of lobbying and Citizen United.
