1. But, but, I am to poor to help the rich.
Perhaps I can get a no bid contract to help the rich. Do you think that is possible?

2. that's right....
....it's not the laws fault the poor might not be able to make as many 'huge contributions' as the rich....if the poor want bail-out money let them get off their dead asses and fine a job and save for political contributions like everyone else....

....give a man a fish, he'll eat it....give a man a boot-strap, he'll pull it....
