Just a fun fact so people know who the actual elitist class is and where they are. None of these people will be on a Govt. run option that I bet 80% of the people on this site will be in 10 years if it passes. Good enough for thee but not for me they snicker.

I haven't seen the figures in awhile, but I remember the percentage of lawyers elected to Congress, was in the high 90% class :wtf: ... brings to mind, Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar', (explaining how to overthrow Caesar's rule) ... " first, we kill all the lawyers " ... :smokin:

Which is why there is No TORT reform in the current Healthcare Legislation. Howard Dean admitted as much on Face the Nation.

TORT reform and interstate health insurance is all that is needed to fix the health care issue.
The fact that neither side of the isle has ever done anything to kill off the lawyers influence speaks volumes.

Because there are about 240 lawyers in congress and the senate.

Not that I trust them really, but the republican health proposal had both those stipulations in it. However, the people are angry with them also, and rightfully so. Its the whole crew in Washington....all of them. They gotta go.
