Who controls the U.S. on behalf of its rich?
Can you imagine working
for a company that has a little more than 500
employees and has 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 directly or
indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for
assault
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
are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving
in the last year.
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give
up yet?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same
group that
enacts many laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in
line, and
the same group planning the murder of hundreds of thousands of
our
Iraqi brothers and sisters.
