How is it that those in government can bounce checks, paying for personal items, and not get in trouble?

I did political surveys years ago, not certain these things are 100% accurate, at least the numbers, but I know some of them bounce checks, paying for tires for their new Mercedes, or whatnot, and nothing happens to them. They're still in office...

How is it that those in government can bounce checks, paying for personal items, and not get in trouble?
Who says they don't? As for being in office, it is up to their constituents to elect or not. If the citizens elect him, that is all you can do.





Have you never had a check bounce. If you did, did you get in trouble because of the bouncing or because you fail to meet your obligation. Most businesses will give you a chance to make that check good as a mistake can happen, but if they have to chase you , then there is a good chance someone will get in trouble.
Reply:Years ago a number of Congressmen and Representatives have been accused of bouncing checks and having preferential treatment given to them by banks. They get away with it because We, the people, don't demand that they be punished and we don't oversee the government the way we are supposed to. If we reigned in the President and V.P. and demanded that our laws be enforced or we petitioned for impeachment, a lot of what goes on in the government wouldn't be possible today. We have abdicated our rights and responsibilities and only by taking back our rights and responsibilities will we be able to change this. If 100% of the people who were eligible to vote, voted, and if 100% of those eligible people refused to vote for the candidates that are pushed down our throats by the money faction, do you think the government would be able to get away with taking our rights? Do you think they would be able to get away with ethics violations? It used to be said that any citizen can become president of the USA. What a crock. Today, you can't even run for local office unless you have more money than most of us can earn in a lifetime. Additionally, when non profits and corporations can contribute to campaigns the idea of one man, one vote, is pure crap. Oprah Winfrey has sold out her fundraiser for Barack Obama -- I don't remember whether it was $2500 or $25,000 a plate -- but either way, who among the little people has that much money to buy influence or influence a vote? Do you think that Obama or anyone else will represent your wishes or the wishes of the "money" providers? We can stop it by voting. We can stop it by getting behind candidates who are not represented by money or by writing in "None of the above". If all the voters did this, we would finally get the government's attention and it would certainly not be status quo. Let's prosecute them for moral and ethics violations. Let's take their jobs just like they have taken ours by outsourcing and gouging us.
