Some one should tell these lawyers that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have (with due respects to Tommy Jefferson)

I think this is hysterical. Taxachusetts made a deal and now they want to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs in order to get more eggs out.
If the attorneys prevail, they will be entitled to MORE fees because they had to sue to collect the fees.
ha ha ...... ha

Massachussetts really has these lawyers smoking. Hee,hee,hee, sue the lawyers for polluting the air. Poetic justice....injustice....whatever, is the sweetest kind.

"Is a deal a deal? Is a promise a promise? Is a contract a contract?"Funny to hear a lawyer ask this. He, of all people, should know the answer:
Only If You Can Enforce It.

Democrats and their lawyers....
They'll get together again. Why, I wouldn'
t doubt that the lawyers are having trouble parking the money, and that later they will get more in intrest and penalties from Democrat judges.. Twisted, corrupt, dark but this is Massachusetts.

If I was from Mass LandoKennedy I'd only pay 1/4 of my state income tax. I'd attach a note saying, "I feel 1/4 is fair. After all enough is enough."

And to the smoker, what difference does it make whether the state keeps more, or the law firms get more?
This does not affect the total amount, just how the legal thugs and the thugs with the guns divvy it up.
