The Wages of Sin
While our bankrupt Congress delays its most recent bi-partisan sellout of the people’s right to be secure in their persons and effects so as to protect their corporate benefactors – whom they obviously consider to be their primary constituency - so that they may attend the funeral of an unapologetic southern white racist, race-baiter and homophobe, we take stock that their approval rating of just 18% as of one year ago has now been cut in half.
Just like American industry and the corporate press, they are reviled by their customers because it is quite obvious to them that none of America’s elites give a rat’s ass about public concerns, except as a means to protect and enrich themselves and their cronies.
So, what are you going to do about it?
While 76% disapprove of Congress, how many disapprove of their own Congressman?
Not many because 85%-95% of all Congressman are routinely re-elected. In other words, my Congressman is fine -- yours sucks. Big time.
Bottom line: if you think Congress is a joke, you should see their constituency.
