Give up? . . . Scroll down
It's neither.
It's neither.
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same people who crank out hundreds of new laws each year Designed to keep the rest of us in line. And they just voted themselves a $15,000-a-month pension for life after serving only one term (that's two years) in Congress.

Cynically enough, I was thinking these numbers sound more like Congress than the NBA or NFL. *sigh* Too bad I was right.
I had seen these sad statistics before. I wonder if the percentages would work out to fit the United States' population at large?
Unfortunately, these numbers show that our lawmakers are, in fact, human.
We may be in deep trouble as a nation...
It looks I am qualified to run for Congress !!! Just when I thought I didn't have a future, I finally found a place to fit in.
Just think about this. Those are the members of Congress who got caught.
Before you get woefully contemptuous of your leaders you may want to do some research as to the reality of a story.
It’s no wonder we seem to get less then stellar candidates when all we the electorate do is spend our time trashing our leaders.
snoops and several urban legal sites have posts about the untruth of this article
