Who Says Crime Doesn't Pay?

[Keith Broaders]

Whoever said the crime doesn't pay was obviously not a Congressman. Benjamin Franklin observed that unscrupulous men and women would seek positions of power in order to satisfy the greed and lust for power. When Congressmen are rewarded by bankers and Wall Street corporations they gladly pass legislation that benefits the corporations rather than the people they were elected to serve.

By paying so called public servants generous salaries we satisfy their greed and when we fail tohold them accountable for their crimes we create an environment they control us and steal our wealth.The only difference between the Mafia and the government is the size of their crime syndicates. The Mafia employs thugs to extort money from business owners while the IRS agents pick our collective pockets for the benefit of financial elite. 

It costs a candidate a lot of money to be elected to Congress and those who provide the funding of the campaigns do so with the understanding that their generosity will be rewarded after the election. We the people elect them, but they take their orders their financiers 

It is no coincidence that most Congressmen and women are  lawyers who are paid well to lie, cheat and steal the wealth of the people they were elected to serve.

Couldn't have been said any better!! 

Growing up and being on the ranch, summers, I had the privilege of coming to know a dear young friend; when I stayed over with her...sitting right there was a pix of Al Capone!  It was here uncle.

I asked her if she knew his history and she did; she told me that there was another, very loving, compassionate and fun side to him..her pix of him was great, she was on his knee or standing right next to him..cigar and all!
