You can care all you want...but you're worrying about something that's beyond your control, which is something i NEVER do because it's silly.

If you don't have a say-so in who Harlemites vote for, and you certainly can't DO anything about who they do and don't choose, what's the point in racking your brains over it? Move to Harlem and vote if you care so much.

Again, it ain't as if any of you (including me) are voting in a bunch of Thomas Jeffersons here...we're all voting in self serving idiots that put their personal interests above the nation's. And no...it's not EVERYONE ELSE voting for these people (if you're thinking that)...you're doing it too.

So sticking your noses up at Harlemites is hypocritical on your part.

I can tell you one thing.......in my district, THAT kind of in-your-face grift and lawlessness would not have been tolerated by our constituents.....ESPECIALLY now as long as Harlem has......

Look at how long that list is!! You're okay with knowing your rep didn't pay his taxes and got away with it and if you so much as mistakenly put down a bad digit on your return, you get 20 yrs!

It's like they don't want BETTER or don't believe BETTER exists....... Stepford Wives .........Stockholm Syndrome

My rep? I don't live in Harlem, and my rep has paid his taxes...at least to my knowledge.

And you don't get 20 years for putting down a bad digit on a tax return.

And that is most unfortunate. Give the power back to the states and reduce the power and authority of our one size fits all inefficient Federal government.
