21st Century Epistle

Anna van Z of Mills River Progressive writes the letter we all wish we could send to our Congresspeople and/or Senators; a tiny piece:

While we're at it, why are you people allowed to profit from your investments while in congress, when your decisions directly affect the profitability of those investments? Why is such a blatant conflict of interest allowed? Furthermore, if you hate government-assisted health care so much, why haven't you relinquished your own tax-payer funded, lifelong health benefits? Why not just buy your own health insurance from your corporate benefactors? Won't they give you a discount?

There's a lot more.  (I throttled an intemperate and profane rant recently; this is so much better written!)
