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
84 were stopped for drunk driving ( in 1998 alone)


Can anyone guess which organization this is?

I’m amazed; I thought for sure that someone here would know what the most criminal organization in the US is. 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 good ship USA on an even keel.
"There is no distinctly native American criminal class - save Congress." -- Mark Twain

Sincerely, Zach Doty

"All Men Having Power Ought to Be Mistrusted" - James Madison

"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." --Thomas Jefferson

"What Good Fortune It is For Governments That People Do Not Think" - Adolf Hitler

"Disobedience to tyranny is obedience to God." - Thomas Jefferson

"If ever there was a holy war, it was that which saved our liberties and gave us independence." -- Thomas Jefferson

"We are not exciting rebellion. Opposition, nay, open, avowed resistance by arms against usurpation and lawless violence, is not rebellion by the law of God or the land." -- John Adams

"Power is the great evil with which we are contending. We have divided power between three branches of government and erected checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. However, where is the check on the power of the judiciary? If we fail to check the power of the judiciary, I predict that we will eventually live under judicial tyranny." - Patrick Henry

"Government is Best Which Governs Least" - Thomas Jefferson

"If we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants." - William Penn

"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" - Patrick Henry

"If Man is Not Fit to Govern Himself, How Can He Be Fit to Govern Someone Else?" - James Madison

"If a Nation Expects to Be Ignorant and Free, It Expects What Never Was and Never Will Be" - Thomas Jefferson

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever" - Thomas Jefferson

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." - James Madison

"Sometimes It is Said that Man Connot be Trusted With the Government of Himself. Can He Then Be Trusted With the Government of Others?" - Thomas Jefferson

"The Spirit of Resistance to Government is So Valuable on Certain Occasions, That I Wish It to be Always Kept Alive." - Thomas Jefferson

"They That Can Give Up Essential Liberty to Obtain a Little Temporary Safety Deserve Neither Liberty nor Safety" - Benjamin Franklin

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It's wholly inadequate for the government of any other." - John Adams

"Were it Left to Me to Decide Whether We Should Have Government Without Newspapers or Newspapers Without Government, I Should not Hesitate a Moment to Prefer the Latter" - Thomas Jefferson

"When the Government Fears the People, There is Liberty; When the People Fear the Government, There is Tyranny" - Thomas Jefferson

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" - Samuel Adams

"If we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom." - Samuel Adams

Hmm....435 of them get reelected every year.....I don't know about senators...I forget. And what years is all of this info from? Personally, I'm very anarchic....but you people allow the data to be skewed and don't look at it intellectually, you simply accept it...was all that info from 1998? or just one part? This info isn't funny....and it's simply lame....it doesn't seem like they worked together to do these crimes...they simply did....with power there is responsibility. With money there is power. And when you are in the spot light, everyone sees the black in your life....light exentuates the dark...it's a fact of every christian....in the dark HIS light shines....why are we judging? This is life, we are sinners.....
