Both parties suck - see evidence
For those poor misguided souls who didn't know what a bunch of bloodsucking bastards occupy seats in Congress here's some interesting reading. This is not one of those political hate emails you've become accustomed to, it is completely non partisan as you'll find members of both parties named in this revealing study.

Re: Both parties suck - see evidence
I find it very funny that they list reimbursements for travel, food, flags, etc. like this is some sort of immoral or criminal act. lol

That being said, if I'm running for office I'm going to want people on my staff I can trust. Whom comes to mind first? Family. Now paying staff a salary isn't wrong, illegal, or immoral. Paying family members more than they should be paid for the position and duties they fulfill might be. Of course it didn't list the amount of salaries paid to family members or other staff members, so we really don't know the full details, do we?

I confess I only read my state's members but I thank you for putting the information out to be read.

Term limits for all are needed STAT! Not sure why we the citizens allow these fatcats to sit and NOT do the jobs we pay them to do. Nevermind the frivolous crap they waste tax payer $$'s on daily.

That's called NEPOTISM.


Fortunately, here in Brazil there are laws that FORBID nepotism. Politicians are forbidden by law to employ family members in their offices.

So let me see if I get this straight. Thousands of people across the country make small donations to Ron Paul's campaign. Ron Paul then uses a portion of those donated funds to pay family members for their effort.

Are you suggesting that anyone within the Ron Paul campaign work for free, or would you rather have your tax dollars going to support them?

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessity to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." - Times of London

I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it systematically to corrupt modern civilization.

Parties are long gone bro. They all positions un the UK and USA have been hijacked by whackos, misfits, kleptos, pedos, slow minded and ill minded. To make things worse they decided they want all the Americans dead because they are afraid of us. Picture 250,000 columbine shooters running the government. Yeah, that. Should be pretty easy to clean up once the Americans rise.
