"The Government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men." Chief Justice Marshall writing in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)
We can see NY's future from Andrew Cuomo's new vision of Justice in Charlie Rangel's theatrics this week in his "Ethics Trial." Andrew Cuomo has said he'll not authorize the new Attorney General, Scheiderman, to investigate and prosecute criminally that special class of crooked NY politicians.
Although, Charlie Rangel has admitted, "Rangel's solicitation letters asked for $30 million, or $6 million a year for five years," Andrew Cuomo failed to prosecute Rangel under NY Penal Law §100.05 Criminal solicitation in the fourth degree. A person is guilty of criminal solicitation in the fourth degree when: 1. with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony, he solicits, requests, commands, importunes or otherwise attempts to cause such other person to engage in such conduct.
Although, Rangel has admitted, "Failure to pay taxes for 17 years," Andrew Cuomo failed to prosecute Rangel under NY Tax Law §1806. Criminal tax fraud in the first degree. A person commits criminal tax fraud in the first degree when he or she commits a tax fraud act or acts and, with the intent to evade any tax due under this chapter,or to defraud the state or any subdivision of the state, .. Criminal tax fraud in the first degree is a class B felony.
Did you see the theatric pain that NY's ruling class's Rangel showed while wiping away the tears in his eyes. Do you now appreciate Andrew's new vision for New York to replace criminal prosecution of crooked politicians with new ethics laws and ethics investigations?
Thank you, Andrew for your vision that our ruling class needs special treatment, while the lowly we respond best to the full penal weight of the law. "Tears punish our ruling class better than jail."
Andrew, thank you for your more just system where laws are relative to a person's stature and class and do not blindly treat all as equal before the law. Justice Marshall was the past from 1803 and you are our future.
Cuomo's Budget Makes New York The Favorite Over California For "First State Bankrupt" Prize
The race is on just as the Ghost of Arnold of California predicted. California is in the lead, but with Andrew Cuomo driving the band wagon on this downhill leg and with his budget frauds shown on this blog, New York may make it first to the bottom win the First State Bankrupt Prize.
Here's the latest news: California Bond Woe Bodes Ill for States with, "posting its sharpest selloff in nearly two years, as investors demand higher interest rates to buy paper issued by states, cities and counties to finance their operations."
Look at all the factors for Cuomo winning the downhill race:
1. NY promises to earn 7.5% Safe Return on pension investments
2. Now, tax receipts are down (24.4 points) from manufacturing of non-government source.
3. Of course, there's the missing $6.8 Billion in the budget.
4. There's the cost of Andrew's ethics instead of criminal prosecution of Albany's crooks.
5. There's Andrew's record as shown in the links in the index above. Jerry Brown is no match for $1.2 trillion and $59 billion stolen.
The odds on favorite: Andrew and his band wagon will make it to the Bottom first and claim the Prize.
