Disgusting. I blame TR for this mess.

So they force you to play the game by their rules even though you don't want to play and then people like Rob and Max complain about how corporations buy politicians.

I remember the Microsoft/Netscape war and it was terrible. Imagine if GM was forced to install Ford motors in their vehicles because that would level the playing field.

God, I'm really beginning to hate big government.

The "or whatever" is what gets me. As if creating jobs wasn't nearly as important as kissing ass.

Me too. Even if he wasn't creating jobs, isn't he at liberty to do "or whatever"?

Our gov't employees are sick with their craving for power and control.

To those inside the Beltway, it's not.
