Today’s email

Here’s an email I received today.

NBA versus NFL – you gotta love this………………………..

GUESS WHICH ONE……..
Even if you aren’t a sports fan this is very interesting!

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 repeat 71
cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits,
and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving
in the last year alone.

Can you guess which organization this is?
NBA Or NFL ?

Give up yet?
Click on the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Neither,
it’s the 535 members of the
United States Congress

The same group that cranks out
hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line

    Citation needed.

    I also got an email claiming Obama was a British, Indonesian, Kenyan baby.

    In all reality, most of those are probably true. But you get the government you elect, and there’s a strong populist movement to elect people “Like us” right now. When Sarah Palin is on a ticket, already with a murky local history, how can you be surprised?

    The answer is 100% public funding and regulating lobbyists. Most of these people aren’t leaving their 500K+ a year jobs for civic service, it’s to repay their employers and build a networking for K street afterwards.

    The again, the SC just struck down rules against limiting corp cash in US elections. Corporations are people after all, with all the rights thus guaranteed.

    That is unless we’re talking about responsibilities. Then it’s not their fault. They’re just a conglomerate made of capital and workers and can’t directly be held accountable besides a monetary pay out.

    100% public financing???? Another scheme to live off the dole. Where do you get the money? The country already has way too much debt compared to GDP. Should we borrow a bit more? We take in about 2 trillion a year and we will spend close to 4 trillion. That is a course for disaster.

    How about something that doesn’t limit speech too much but reigns in the lobbyist influence. Simply pass a rule that a politician can only accept donations from a citizen if they live in their voting district. Barney Frank will have to listen to his constituents as his primary motive and not to the Wall Street Banks he is so beholden to.
