"The Dallas mortgage broker, who was said in court papers to earn around $40,000 annually, had accumulated $331,000 in unpaid child support over less than eight years. Four years ago, when he had already negotiated a settlement, federal agents arrested him. He was prosecuted as a criminal deadbeat.

Must be more to this. His child support is more than his entire income."

Really? Why MUST there be more to this. It sounds faily typical to me. One way this happens is if he had a higher income in the past. The state courts ruled him 'underemployed' and based his child support on his best ever earnings.

There are plenty of dads in this predicament. If they get disabled, they still owe. If they get unemployed, they still owe. If the judge is an asshole, they still owe.

Welcome to the new slavery.

There's one major type of criminal that Congress routinely ignores or even supports; their own members.

Every senator, for example, who sat before 2000 is a TRAITOR to the Constitution.

The House is full of thieves and frauds and worse.

They protect themselves and the "beautiful people" while sucking the life's blood out of the country."

More recently, federalization critics have challenged use of the post-Sept. 11 USA Patriot Act's broadened powers of investigation to chase more mundane criminals like telemarketing scammers.

Shortly before the **** 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS ****** in New York and Washington, U.S. Rep. Donald Manzullo, an Illinois Republican, offered a bill to force a federalization review of every proposed crime. It would be checked for whether it bears on core federal duties and how well it is already handled by the states.

Now, "other priorities have overtaken this legislation," says Manzullo spokesman Rich Carter. The bill quietly died.

The traitors are forgetting something. When the Communists take over, traitors are usually the first to be shot, because they can't be trusted. Furthermore, they will have outlived their usefulness as idiots.
