    They’re not paying millions to cut millions off of their taxes. They’re paying thousands to cut millions. Y’all. This is arithmetic.

    Spend a while in the ISP business, for a few of 'em, had eyes on this sort of thing for that particular field.

    The cable providers would drop a couple of thousands in a politician’s war chest, vote purchased. Imagine Comcast paying out $10,000 for every House and Senate seat, all of them. Chicken change.

    If anything, I’m insulted our politicians don’t require a substantial bribe. C’mon guys! If you’re going to fuck millions of us over, get paid!
