No man is above the law. Our laws are in place to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Our laws were enacted over 200 years ago and are just as valid today as they were then.
Yes, the President is the most powerful head figure in America but because of that level of power he should be held doubly accountable for what his office wrought, not in spite of it.
If the president of a company makes poor decisions and said company tanks, the holding board members are responsible for removing a poor leader to be replaced by someone who can do the job properly.
We, my fellow Americans, are those board members. We do not need to wait until this presidents term is over to remove him, we put him there, we can take him out. Never has there been a level of continental civil discontent this high in American history and it's high time we put a stop to it and fix it.
We can't rely on the next figure head to do what's right by us, we can only hope. But even that hope is false because, through experience, we will with a doubt be fucked once more by those claiming to be for us.
I would like to hear from a lawyer about what our options are as a country to file a class action law suite against George W. Bush and known associates for disrupting the economy causing economic hardships and sending us as a nation into a debt that not even American Financial Service would touch. We will be bankrupt by George W. Bush's poor decisions and he needs, no, must be held accountable.
To date, the national debt is approximately 9.3* trillion. A number so large as it might seem to be made up. According to Slate magazine, George W. Bush has a net worth of around $9 million to $26 million*2 and Vice President Cheney disclosed a portfolio worth as much as $94.6 million in 2005.*3
What this means to me is that the two of them alone can take a decent dent in the National Debt they helped create, and if we could hit their assets then we're talking about a very substantial amount of money to help pay off their carelessness.
I understand that this could take years upon years to do but it would be well worth it in the end. Not only will we prove a point to future presidents that the National Treasury is built off our money and we care what is done with it but to also dissuade them from being as careless as our twice elected mistake.
Any takers?
