Re: "You raised a good point, that Washington caved to the corporate wishes. And Lieberman is a real snake and a liar."

>>> They always seem to go with the Big Money contributors... and for years, the accounting industry has ranked as the #2 or #3 largest contributor to campaigns.

>>> Especially on arcane, nitty-gritty type issues that are expected to cause the public to hit their snooze alarms... that's the type of thing that the politicians find easiest to sell out the public interest on.
