A Really Sad Story

Last night, we saw a remarkable movie, “Winter’s Bone”. Netflix via Roku.  It is an indie but it got several Academy nominations, but did not win any.  It is a very sad story.  No laughs here.

It is a story about people in the backwoods of Missouri.  You get several messages from this movie.

1)      Interbreeding is NOT a good thing.

2)      Some people are directly responsible for their own situation.

3)      But some people are just unlucky no matter what.

And it is the unlucky people that Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor are planning to screw so they can send more money to their Richie Rich pals.  Paul and Eric, among others listed below, have NEVER worked any place but the government.  Here are some numbers for your consideration.

Salary of retired US Presidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,00​0 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House ............$223,500 FOR LIFE
