| Where's the penalty? Comcast spends 13.8 Billion and pays 800K "fine" for flat out lying to the Feds, no one gets punished and everyone makes money right? If it were Joe Blow, lying to the Feds gets jail time AND a fine.
Just more proof that only in Amerika can you buy innocence and justice, Amerika where the Government is for sale to the highest bidder. The stench from Washington DC sickens the common man |

Leona Helmsley was right but she didn't broaden her scope. Yes, only the little people pay taxes but the little people also go to jail and get the bulk of government punishment. Had she kept her mouth quiet, they would not have singled her out to make an example off. Other than her, and Martha Stewart, there aren't too many big wigs that get carted off to jail.

And why should they? They allow RayCom to do it as well and never fined them. |

This is called TYRANNY!
What did the Founding Fathers prescribe to address such a problem?
THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
Read the unabridged version of it. |

I am not certain I accounted for the magnitudes properly, but isn't that like an $8 fine on a $138 million violation? Not even a slap on the wrist!
