“You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook.” - Harry S. Truman
There's a bit of a spat in Moscow these days having to do with Putin amassing fabulous wealth.
Wait a minute aren't these the famous "re-distribute the wealth guys"?
No? Sorry, thought I heard someone preaching about that sort of thing.
JOE WURZELBACHER, Plumber - "Your new tax plan is going tax me more, isn't it? "
OBAMA: "It's not that I want to punish your success; I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they've got a chance to success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Putin's been busy accumulating all sorts of expensive toys since 2000 said Boris Nemtsov, an opposition leader in a report detailing that the Russian leader Putin has a private fleet of 15 helicopters, 4 yachts, and 43 airplanes. All paid for in state Rubles for his personal travel to and from his private palaces, coastal villas, and luxury ski lodges
Nemtsov went on to describe Putin of having the opulent lifestyle of a Middle Eastern Potentate.
Tsk! Tsk! Don't politicians look and sound so silly when they argue over money ..... again!
