Politicians - For Sale - Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!!!!!
A few years ago America was outraged of a Middle Eastern company, Dubai Port World, being in charge our ports. I’m sure most of you heard about and maybe you even wrote your Senator. I’m bringing this up, because Congress lead the way with public outrage shut down the deal. An American company was quickly found to take over the ports.
Politicians are simply puppets control by the strings of money. This year Dubai just purchased 20% of NASDAQ, the American stock exchange and also will take control of their stake in London Stock Exchange. Now how come no Congress man is on TV screaming “Outrage!!”?
Well this time Dubai spent almost $10 million between 3 Lobbying companies to get your politicians to give the deal a thumbs up. Politicians, merry puppets, spend time criticizing each other for passing laws or business deals for their fundraisers; but they all seem to sell out to the highest bidder.
Do you think it is dangerous to have politicians that are indebted servants of special interest groups, rather the “people?” And if you believe it is dangerous, what is solution for our elections? For the last, 10 or more US presidents, they have raised the most amount of money, and the “people” are not the ones funding them.
