That comes from a liberal bias which was very clear in the words written by Andrew Blechman (Leisureville.

I am sure mistakes were made over the years by the Morse family, but I reject the idea of any criminal intent or fraud. Mr. Morse is far too smart a businessman to get caught up in any out right criminal conduct. His attorneys and accountants are probably the best in the country and know when and how to use the Federal Tax Codes to his advantage, just like any other successful businessman. It has only been over the past four years where legal loopholes have been defined as criminal intent. Most of what is written in that Bloomberg article is like others on the far-left (Wall Street Protestors) who attempt to make villains out of hard working successful Americans. I reject that philosophy and it is the major reason why I oppose Obama and his social justice approach to government, which is simply a metaphor for socialism! Capitalism has been the core to America's greatness and I have always questioned the motives of anyone wanting to destroy it.

There should always be checks and balances in every system because absolute power always corrupts. Here in the Villages, the POA acts as a check on the power of the Morse family's influence and they do a very good job. The POA was not even mentioned in the article. I believe they had a role in getting the settlement between the Morse Family and District 1 with regards to over payments for district assets.

I have always admired successful people in this country, Harold Schwartz and Gary Morse certainly proved they have what it takes to reach the top. It is a shame how politics on the left today have divided people attempting to create class warfare. That is not the American way. The other day a very clear message was sent by Americans in Wisconsin. I believe that same message will resonate across the nation in November as Americans reject the liberals and their attempt to expand government. Thanks for sharing the article.

Amen to that Bro........"God Bless America"
