Anyone wonder why? We have a "Revolving Door" policy in DC. The huge corporations pay the Senators/Congressmen (through election campaign contributions) to "Vote" their way. Later in life, these same Politicians, after rewriting all the rules for their "Sponsors", leave office and take a job...with the same Clowns they were supposed to be "Regulating"! Remember NH Senator Judd Greg? Where is he now?

Former Senator Judd Gregg to Join Goldman Sachs - National - The Atlantic Wire

There are over 42,000 Registered Lobbiest in Washington DC, they -Pay- our 535 "Representatives" to write the rules (the RLA in our case) to their own benefit, and if they do a good job, guess what? They Hire them!

We have the Best Government Money Can (and does) Buy!

But here's the thing, when are We the People going to pick up the pitchforks and head to DC? We'll get the Government we deserve, if we are too weak to stop them, and so far, that's exactly what we have been, weak.
