Crooking Class
25 October 2007
Editor, The Washington Times
To the Editor:
In "Oinking senators" (October 25) you report on the venal and hypocritical Senators who relentlessly buy votes with pork paid for with funds pillaged from taxpayers. I'm reminded of my all-time favorite title for an article about the nature of government: "Malice in Plunderland."
It's shameful that so much of Americans' wealth is commandeered to pass to and through the crooking class.
Sincerely,
