Who woulda thunk it? Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor gets $2,000,000 to stop the tax increase on the fat cats.
"For the past four years, Cantor has taken the lead in the House on fighting the same changes. He also has been one of the top recipients of contributions from those industries — last year, his two fundraising committees took in nearly $2 million from securities and investment firms and real estate companies, more than double the figure for Boehner (R-Ohio)."

The only real and fair way to deal with this would be NO LOBBY from anyone.

If they followed the constitutional doctrine of limited government, they would not be anything for which to lobby. Jim Rogers had a good idea. Let them live at home and vote from the high school gym with the local people watching them. With video conferencing, etc. there is no need for them to be insulated in washington away from the people. Corporations already are using the technology. Lobbyist would not be able to cover fifty states at the same time.

 Gary, I like what you proposed look at the savings alone by not having all the expense running the Capitol.

Boner only got a million.  Just wanted to make sure y'all knew that so you'd know who to cuss when grandpa gets sent home from the nursing home.
