Ponder This
Can you imagine working at the following company?
It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:
*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
*3 have been arrested for assault
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
*14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
*21 are current defendants in lawsuits
*In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving.
Can you guess which organization this is?
It is the 535 members of your United States Congress.
The same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds and hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.
ha... you should take a look to ours... all of them are corrupted, and several crimes are repeated towards them... and they're there just to pick big fat checks, worth enough to pay for the lifetime education of one single kid...
omg... it must be worldwide then... haha... here we're all screwed up and all they do is put their fat asses on expensive chairs, waiting for the day to end...
