“All Americans need to visit D.C. at least once to experience this IMHO”
I agree. Thought that too. Really, all we need is one good tv show to bring it home. “Lifestyles of the Rich and Useless”.
It was like being in Oz. All I could think of was, so this is what my ancestors shot their British overlords for? To end up right back where we started from, on our knees to a bunch of decadent, corrupt grifters who spend most of their time trying to think of new ways to put the thumb on us?
Lois Lerner isn’t the exception. She’s the g-damn model for them. They probably have pics of her in their offices.
I spent my life in the Rust Belt. Pittsburgh. Toldeo. Flint. Lots of people who worked damned hard only to find themselves and their communities in tough circumstances.
Go to D.C. and you will find probably the wealthiest per-capita city in on this continent. Despite the fact that it produces absolutely NOTHING of value.
THAT is the infuriating part.
