If you ever wonder why politicians are all painted by the same broad brush of corruption, dishonesty and lack of ethics Governor Perry might be someone to watch. Apparently shortly after he entered the governor's office in 2001 he reportedly bought land from a state senator at a below-market price and then turned an $850,000 profit just six years later. Along the way, at least two people—a lawyer and real estate broker—involved in the deal landed state appointments from Perry. Likewise, he named two partners in a natural gas venture he co-owned to plum state jobs.
Remember when George W was running for president there were accusasions of special treatment in the National Guard? Everyone denied asking or being asked to do anything wrong. I believed them because I realize people in positions such as you find yourself in know if they do something nice for someone that someone will eventully do something nice for them. Quite similar to the Mafia.
Congress as a whole must void all benefits not available to the public. Congress should receive no healthcare, unless provided by their state. Congress should not receive a pension. Being a member of Congress was not intended to be a profession.
Gingrich gets $1,500,000 from a government supported agency?
There is something obscene about a professional politician. They are a drain on society.
