Pigs feeding at the public trough
Hello:
Here in Seattle, Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott has sought to use taxpayer dollars to polish up the Rainier Club's windowsills. Apparently, the wealthy members of this private club, who pay dues of $191 a month, couldn't come up with the $250,000 it's going to take.
Those poor rich people. Now McDermott wants you and me and the other working stiffs - people who would never be qualified to JOIN the club, to PAY for fixing it.
Then the congressman has the temerity to suggest that this private club for the wealthy is entitled to make a request of him just like the University of Washington is. What is HE smokin??
We should dump 'em all.
