In which case every welfare recipient, every government employee, and most especially everyone in Congress should go to jail.
nope, doesn't work that way....we vote for representatives who "speak for us" and they have adopted standards for welfare recipients, gov't employees, and themselves.....perfectly legal......now, let's hold their feet to the fire....CUT SPENDING....a lot OR WE VOTE YOU OUT OF OFFICE!!!but we won't do it.....daddy always voted democrat so I should too. I just went around this area for the county clerks office allowing those nursing homes to vote in our primary. You would be amazed at some of their comments....some because they were very old and senile but many very intelligent people who had some of the most inane reasons for voting as they did.......made me worry about our republic
