Out Tax Dollare At Work!!!!!!

[grandslammer]

Got this in an e-mail a couple of days ago. I sent it out to some friends and associates, but figured it HAT TO BE POSTED HERE TOO!

I must say, it sure makes me feel good about paying taxes!

Can you imagine working at the following Company? It has a little over 500
employees with the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
* 3 have been arrested for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are current defendants in lawsuits
* In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving

Can you guess which organization this is? Give up?
It's the 535 members of your United States Congress. The same group that
perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws designed to keep
the rest of us in line.

Thanks for "listening"

One of those guys had written over a hundred bad checks a couple of years ago! If I did that I would get 11/29!

Like bub, I'd like to know who compiled this info.

Sad part is that I'm surprized the numbers are that LOW, especially the fraud!

Wonder how many are in two or more categories...

That could be cause for a little concern, if you ask me!

Can you post the source for this?

WE are the ones who put these people into office. I e-mailed that list to my senator! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

haha nice work narayan.
maybe someone could send copies to Presidential candidates too. give 'em something to chew over.
I'm sure the British parliament doesn't come out much better than those figures either. Breaking UN arms embargoes, keeping despots in power and taking bribes from big business seems to be a favorite here.
