This article is about Harry Reid, but I think it should make us ask questions off all of our politicians. It sure seems like there are some very questionable actions. Since he will not release his tax returns most of the article is conjecture.
I think if we could speak to the founding fathers and explained to them the idea of a career politician, I believe that they would be astounded.
I appreciate that most of the citizens in the US have been apathetic to these things, one of these days however, I wonder if the people will realize that they are subjects and not citizens now. With all that has gone on with banking, lending, real estate and other things, what more will it take to make the citizenry wake up?

Amazing. I should have gotten into politics. I think I am missing out on something. LBJ was a great example, he was dirt poor when he died he was worth tens of millions….all on that government salary..lol… I believe someday the people will have enough of this. Obviously we aren’t at that point yet….. and someday although we may not live to see it there will be an Arab Spring in the USA.
its just insane. its wrong to bribe an official to make money, but let them invest in your company and let them clear the way with legislation that will line their pockets thats totally fine.
