OUR REPRESENTATIVES DON'T REPRESENT US

Our Congress acted against our interests this year by approving a torture-the-captives program carried out by the administration of our ostensibly moral president. We are not that kind of people, but we are dead asleep to the deeds of our leaders. Could you torture a suspect? I guess so, if you tolerate lawmakers who make it legal.

Then Congress passed a law forbidding Medicare to negotiate drug prices with the behemoth pharmaceuticals. That means that Medicare must pay the full retail prices for drugs purchased from the pill pushers. What other industry is guaranteed by federal law to sell its products for the prices it chooses?

Oh, the pharmaceuticals lead the field in contributions to politicians. Our government is used, abused and ripped off.


IT'S ALL SO SIMPLE.
