It is unforgivable for the Republican leadership to let our senior citizens continue to be robbed on a daily basis while we do nothing. If we had someone going around robbing our citizens, and especially our senior citizens in that community, we would put a stop to it and we would put a stop to it right away. These companies are robbing the American people, and they are robbing our senior citizens. You do not have to assault someone to rob them. These people have figured out a way to rob someone without going into their home or assaulting them.
