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.
