How'd you Like to Work for This Company?
Would You Work For This Company? (I believe these are last year's stats)

Do you fancy working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics?:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year ...


Can you guess which organization this is?

Given up yet?








It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

2. Check snopes...

Basically, it could all be true, but without sources or specific examples, it's just a bunch of vague finger-pointing. There's enough true stuff out there that politicians can be shown to be involved in, why bother passing this stuff on?
