The actual citizens of the US are just an irritant to the Congress
Oh, there we go with all our little carping faxes and emails and LTTEs about the loss of our jobs and healthcare and illegal war that our brother-in-law in the reserve has to serve 3 tours for and now he can't get help with PSTS and how we don't like torture and how we think we should have helped the people on the roofs in NOLA and we thought habeas corpus and the Constitution was good and all.

Damn! And then they have to come talk to us and pretend like they care every four or six years or so and keep their home offices in our state and it is just SO DAMN ANNOYING!!!

They have books to write and TV shows to be on and corporate boards to talk to and laws to pass that help Big Pharma and the Military Industrial guys and the oil guys and the insurance guys and the finance guys- hey, the ones who pass out THE BIG BUCKS, ok?!

Why won't these irritating little gnats that they have to pretend to care about go away?!! When are they going to get the message? Helloooo?

3. How true. I often think of how the ruling class (the real wealthy) think
of income tax payers. We truly are ants to them. Something to exterminate when we're troublesome.

4. Throwing a few crumbs our way works as well.
Extermination is just, just, so EXTREME. Plus, they need to keep us on life support in order to keep the tax coffers full.
