Are you more ethical than a Congress person? Take a quiz to find out.

CREW looked at all 435 House of Representatives members and discovered that more than half of them have used their positions to benefit themselves and family.

2. That was fun and enlightening

And no wonder that Congress Piggies have the lowest ratings ever-
on BOTH sides of the aisle.
Can you say, "CORRUPTION?"
As they slurp form the trough of $lop provided by OUR tax dollars,
while completely acting against OUR interests as voters and citizens?

3. I am an acquisition official for the US Gov

In other words I buy really expensive stuff for our government, with our tax dollars and I would never even consider doing any of the things in the test, for if I did I would end up in jail.

What is messed up, the rules are in place to limit corruption, and the problem is Congress exempted themselves from the laws.

4. That was fun!

I had no idea there were so many inventive ways to make a buck! And here I thought I was just allowed to spend campaign money on new clothes! Damn me, I need a job as a candidate!

6. Pretty hard not to, considering

... how obviously slanted the questions were. I do disagree that spending tax dollars on a luxury hotel room for the travelling politician is "corruption." A couple of the questions had a "Caesar's wife" flavor to them, as well. For example, if I employ my nephew as a paid staff member, that is not ipso facto evidence that he is incapable of doing the work and got the job only because of nepotism. By that argument, any attractive woman who has a staff job with a male boss is under suspicion of being hired only for sexual favors, which is obvious profiling.
