According to the forms they have to file, 56 of the 100 Senators are millionaires currently, but that number is probably higher in reality, because of the accepted ‘lies’ on the financial foreclosure forms.

No, they don’t want to increase their own tax burden, and they don’t want to annoy the people who fund their campaigns.

I gather that most senators are millionaires and probably wouldn’t vote for an effective pay cut.

They keep piling up the hay, making it harder and harder to find any needles. This is just a monumental failure to understand the system … it is just ignorant, and annoying, and wrong.

Raising the issue should be good for at least a few ads hammering Republicans for their servile kissing of rich people’s… um… rings.

OT, you may want to read my last post of the night, about CISPA. CISPA looks worse than I imagined, though you may already have been tracking it via EFF. But there seems to be a possibility that even encrypting your email or using an anonymizer may trigger a flag of “cyber threat intelligence” under the proposed act, so you need to know about it. I put the CISPA post up after your visit (for which thanks; that’s all essential info on the plight of veterans.)

When encrypted emails are outlawed, only outlaws will have encrypted emails… 😈
