More cronyism

This is where your endlessly increasing taxes go

SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum’s ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.

Remember this when next you’re confronted by someone wishing to raise your taxes in the name of ‘fairness’ or ‘equality’.  All that these taxes do is take earned income from the wealthy with no political friends and transfer it to the wealthy with political friends or their bureaucratic underlings.
