Why do we even have a Congress?

[Drunken Irishman]

They don't do anything. They don't pass laws. They don't do their jobs. They sit around and bitch all the time while collecting a hefty paycheck at the expense of the tax payers. We fund their healthcare, their pension and housing and what do we get in return? Absolute gridlock. You want to talk about the real welfare abusers? It's Washington. They're milking us dry by raising their salaries and failing to actually do their job.

If you want to be a freeloader and deadbeat, run for Congress. You get a shit-load of perks, a lot of visibility, great healthcare and all you have to do is complain about something - higher taxes, more spending, war - for a few hours before going back to your upscale Bethesda, Maryland home for a night of passion with your secret lover.
