People are for this because Politicians scream the Corporations are stealing from you but these Politicians are the crooks.

This is why it didn't surprise me when a behavioural study came out that said Politicians share behavioural traits with Serial Killers.

But since we the people have to eat it when the risks go badly, why not allow for some form of damage control on our taxpayer dollars?
