Doesn't the phrase "lucky enough to beat the charges" really mean "not convicted of wrongdoing"?
And, do Republicans want to censure other Republicans who have not been convicted of wrongdoing?
why would they do that, it makes no sense.
I think the wealthy and powerful who commit money crimes should be given an out, a way to avoid jail time (after they're convicted, of course. Before, they're innocent, regardless of political party).
They should be allowed to, instead of costing the taxpayer fifty grand or so a year for jail, go out and get a minimum wage job and live on that salary, and that salary alone, for a year.
No big house, no fancy car, no Armani suits, no being called Mr. and Sir, just go to work five or six days a week and live on the proceeds of $7 and change an hour, less payroll taxes of course.
Taxpayers would save, the perp would learn something about finances and how the other half lives, and justice would be served. It would be a win-win situation.
