The Blank Check Business To Railroad America
As an aside to your business check order, once upon a time in America the House of Representatives was known as "the people's house." No more. There are 65 lobbyists for every member of Congress on Capitol Hill. Per month they spend $200 million wining, dining and seducing federal officials!
Money does influence business behavior. Are our officials in Congress the only people in the world expected to take large amounts of money from strangers and then act as if it has no effect on their behavior?
This monkey business needs regulation. Who are the consumer advocates? Are they not Congressmen? Doesn’t anyone smell conflict of interest?
"Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you make the most of it." – John Quincy Adams, 6th U.S. president
