In September 2001, Kerry disclosed to the Senate ethics office that AIG had paid an estimated $540 in travel expenses to cover his costs for a speech in Burlington, Vt. A few months later, in December 2001, several AIG executives gave maximum $1,000 donations to Kerry's Senate campaign on the same day. The donations totaled $9,700 and were followed by several thousand dollars more over the next two years. The next spring, AIG donated $10,000 to a new tax-exempt group Kerry formed, the Citizen Soldier Fund, to lay groundwork for his presidential campaign. Later in 2002, AIG gave two more donations of $10,000 each to the same group, making it one of the largest corporate donors to Kerry's group. The insurer wasn't the only company connected to the Big Dig to donate to Kerry's new group. Two construction companies on the project -- Modern Continental Group and Jay Cashman Construction -- each donated $25,000, IRS records show.

When you read this, remember it's YOUR money that these greedy crooks are helping themselves to, withheld from every paycheck that should have gone to pay YOUR bills. Since your pay represents your life, they have stolen a share of your life and sleezy politicians such as Kennedy and Kerry have been accomplises. The participants in the Boston Tea Party must be spinning in their graves when they see the corruption in the Big Dig...and wondering why this generation of taxpayers is as dumb as sheep...actually worse, since they vote to be fleeced!
