Senator Robert Menendez has "requested that the Senate Finance Committee conduct the first-ever hearing to look into ways that the federal government could help innocent victims of ponzi schemes gain some relief for the taxes they had paid on phantom investments. We were able to make this happen..."

What a sense of priorities these people have! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
I happen to know that my other Senator, Frank Lautenberg, lost a lot of money in this scheme. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I wish there were an icon with a bigger, wider, screaming mouth and mad eyes I could use. This guy:eek: just looks scared, while this guy:mad: is too quiet.
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
My Senator and Rep (Pallone) are the worst in the country!!
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, I gotta go outside now. (Shhh!)

My rule is "if Menendez supports it, I don't."

Enough said.

Wait, if they lost money on the Ponzi scheme they would get a tax BREAK from deductions, if they made money on the scheme they would be taxed on it..

I'm not quite sure what they're getting at here :confused:

I don't know a lot of details about the scheme but if they had the chance to pull their money out and didn't I don't think they deserve any special treatment. People win and lose everyday in the market.
