Do businesses have too much influence in government?

Ha h thought we went over this but the lobbyists are tricky. each fo the last three years they have donated $3.5 billion to the House and Senate members. many of them have family members that work for the lobbyists and also run their own firms. Like Reid's kids and son in law work for them, Joe's son has his own fir and Trent Lott's son started one that i guess Trent runs now or maybe he started his own. The president got no telling how much. McCain has gotten $487 million, kerry $394 million and in her little over one term Hillary got $328 million. This buys influence.

So you are RIGHT.

Remember when the tSA agents out of the blue started going after the passengers, that was odd, but not if you knew the two companies L-3 Communications represented by former sen. Tom Descales wife was their lobbyists, the other company was raspiscon. not sure about them but they spread #5 million around Washington and got the contracts, have not been able to figure who as opensecretes.org hasn't loaded that info in but would figure it was the members of the committee that awarded the contracts. Anyway two weeks before they got the contracts tSA got the word. Since the body scanners are in 19 airports at the time look for TSA to ease up after they are in most of the airports and you will not have to go through them. Also remember the government says the radiation is not harmful, yes the same government that approved asbestos.

$3.5 billion a year not bad

Under the Dick & Bush regime we were SCREAMING towards fascism,,, Now we are dealing with a congress that is willing to sabotage our economy just to make Obama look bad and blame him for what bush did instead of helping him Fix the distruction

No. It's the same freedom of speech we all have. The problem is transparency. We should know who is paying for our politicians. Some may have more money but they don't have the votes.

I think they do. They flash the cash.

did your parents have too much influence on what you ate at home? any other stupid questions?
