"despite a long and deep recession, the collective personal wealth of congressional members increased by more than 16% between 2008 and 2009. the study ( by the center for responsive politics) also indicates that a significant number of members own shares of major players in the health care and financial services sectors, which were the subject of major reform legislation during the period. the finding, based on financial diclosure data released earlier this year, paint a wealthy bunch in congress with more than half of all memebers-261-millionaires."

"the most popular investments among congressional members reads like a who's who of the most poweful corporate political forces in washington d.c. companies that spend milllions, if not tens of millions of dollars each year lobbying federal officials."

what a stunner!!! the whores are bailing out corporate entities they hold stock in with public funds to save their own assets...who would have thought such a thing possible when we have such a fundamentally sound constitution? wherever that rat bastard hamilton is he is giddy with the success of his little project launched in deceit, misrepresentation, and bald-faced venality in 1787...it has evolved into a finely honed and well oiled ponzi scheme that even alex wouldn't have dared to dream of...$90,000 stuffed into a freezer is chump change when you're dealing with quantative easing and toxic assets...congress is a cesspit of lawyers and defrocked clerics with the authority to write legislation...of course they have to be bought...they are the one weak link in the dreams of corporate avarice so they have to be brought on board...whiskey...strumpets...greasy bags of cash exchanged for votes during trysts in the swamps around whoretown on moonless nights...whatever it takes...this is what molds the highest political offices and informs our view of government..no wonder people are pissed...the whole diseased sump reeks to high heaven and the low rent scumbags want us to belive thay are "for main street"? deep in denial and terminally out of touch with the national reality they are far more concerned about how to co-opt and corupt the freshmen coming into their midst on the crest of a new wave of "voter anger" than with the fact that most voters would rather set them on fire than hear one more bullshit excuse...it's a hard dollar selling your constituents as well as your soul...life's tough enough when the only shadow you cast looks like a corporate logo and the word "whore" keeps bleeding though the make-up on your forehead no matter how thickly you cake it on...but when people form your district start showing up armed to the teeth and raving wildly about immigrants and the tyranny of taxation it takes the joy right out of political life...nothing is simple anymore...or straightforward or honest either...fuck these people.
