In Case Anyone Forgets What Our Elections Are Really About.

Quote:Congress to consider corporate tax breaks after midterm elections
Reuters


Quote:When the U.S. Congress returns to work next week after Tuesday’s midterm elections, one of its first tasks will be dealing with dozens of expired corporate tax breaks, whose renewal and extension are seen as likely though not guaranteed.

Known as “extenders,” the 55 temporary laws – including tax breaks for depreciation and research – have been in limbo since the end of 2013, when their last authorized extension ran out.

Keep those bribes flowing, baby. That's what politics is all about in this day and age. Politicians for sale to the highest bidder.

Its an artifact of a large centralized government. Decentralize the power, decrease the size and scope of government and you will decrease the flow of bribes.

I don't so much mind politicians being for sale. The trouble is that once bought, they never STAY bought.

I wish Andy were joking. Sometimes satire is too close to reality.

Quote:WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Congressional seats are on pace to fetch a whopping four billion dollars on Tuesday night, a record-smashing sales figure that has exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic insiders.

Quote:“With all of the uncertainty in the world today, the United States Congress is considered a very safe place for the rich to invest their money,” said Charles Michollot, of the auction house Sotheby’s. “Congressional seats are like Manhattan real estate—they aren’t making any more of them.”
