Anthony Weiner and Carlos Danger

In my opinion, Anthony Weiner has become the poster child of what's wrong with politics today.

Ask yourself this...why would so many wealthy people fight so hard for a handful of government jobs with a base pay that nearly all of them would not get out of bed for??

Answer...because that is only the tip of the iceberg...the real payoff is the millions they rake in taking bribes ...I mean campaign contributions. Add to that the benefits that most of the rest of us would die for..like free travel..free food..even better than free..they usually get paid to say a few words over lunch. 

They are immune to the very laws they pass to the rest of us. They show up late..leave early...their mail and computer use is protected by the best software the government can buy...They can have fully stocked bars in their offices. They publicly profess to be looking out for the least of us, while secretly passing bills that take care of the people who already have the most.

We, like most of the rest of the world, have a corrupt government that has succumb to the sin of greed.
I believe Thomas Jefferson said it best...he who governs least governs best.

As long as you and I... sit complacently by, and allow our politicians to use our tax money as their own personal piggy bank, we will be stuck with the bad decisions they make.....

This is hard for me to admit, but the only reason I'm not a politician doing the same thing is that I have not been offered a chance....I mean if I could be guaranteed a good retirement plus all the benefits ...and all I had to do was agree to sell my soul....my only question would be....are you sure you have the right guy???
