Your Tax Dollars at Work

The people we elect and those that we employ.

Good to know we're keeping up our vigilance on the terrorismists.

Video games may be violent, I hear.

We pay these people 160,000 dollars a year to waste their time.

The real issue here isn't freedom of speech. These are hearings. Nothing's actually being accomplished. Congress is just putting on a show to calm their constituencies and waste our tax money.

What really gets me about all of this, is that these are the same people that voted down raising the minimum wage while later raising their own salaries by 3,000 dollars for what they call "Living Expenses." And people still tell me that I throw my vote away when I vote Libertarian.

Well, we could stop voting for the same idiots come every election for one. Either vote for their opponent or a third party, it's honestly that simple.

Also, RAB, this specific instance doesn't involve Congressmen acting like experts but that Congress is being fed misinformation by people that call themselves experts. That we're paying them tax money to essentially feed our representatives bullshit is the problem here, and that Congress doesn't really intend to do anything about it in the first place is the other. Even if these "experts" actually had some information of value it wouldn't mean anything since no legislation will come out of this farce.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
