22. Can someone explain to me why legislators accept ANY gifts?
Jeez ... look how well taken care of, salary-and-benefits-wise, they are ... Why do they have to accept a damn freebie from ANYONE. Why can't they pay for their own trips, their own sporting events? What the heck? When are they gonna learn?

Listen, Mister or Ms. Senator or Congressperson ... some of us have to live on a damned budget. Try it sometime ... you have a pretty damned big budget to work with!

I'm really sick of this crap ... Repug or Democrat.
