Satire, but click the link to see true and shocking results. Copied from Billionaires for Bush. You will be hearing more and more about them as the year goes by. _________________________________ Legislation: A Lucrative Investment Attention All Billionaires: If you're like most of us, you're always looking for higher returns on your investments. And while you may be familiar with stocks and bonds, currency speculation, IPOs, and all the rest, there's a new investment arena you really ought to be aware of: Legislation. If a mutual fund returns 20% a year, that's considered unbelievably good. But in the low-risk, high return world of legislation, a 20% return is positively lousy. Why, there's no reason why your investment dollar can't return 60,000, 70,000, even 80,000%! Here's how it works: With the help of a professional legislation broker (called a Lobbyist), you place your investment (called a Campaign Contribution) with a carefully selected list of legislation manufacturers (called Members of Congress). These manufacturers then go to work writing legislation: crafting industry-specific subsidies, inserting tax breaks into the tax code, extending patents, or giving away public property for free. In an assembly-line process that would make Henry Ford proud, the legislation is produced, and you (and your favorite industry) reap the benefits! The effect on your bottom line is immediate and huge. Just check out these results: Click the link to see just how much return a company can expect to get by investing in bribes, um...a, I mean campaign contributions, um...a, I mean lobbyists. [It's a table so it won't copy correctly here. Table includes Haliburton, Bechtel, drug companies and several others.] Example - Bechtel invested a little over 3 million and got over a billion in contracts, Haliburton has received over 2 billion in contracts (much more by now) in return for 3 million invested. billionairesforbush.com If you can get this kind of return when you buy a few congressmen, just imagine what you get when you buy the President. Don't wait. Invest now, and let the paybacks roll in for the next four years. Billionaires for Bush Investment Newsletter #23
