Here's the problem - we're the people who "bankroll" them.
Really, the taxpayers pay for all the perks - the money they receive - the money they give away - the rent on the buildings they do "business" in - everything.
It's like a stadium a town builds - the taxpayers will pay for 99% of it and some kiss-ass company will come in and give the "city" ( read mayor and cronies) 1% and get naming rights. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
That’s a given. The only money government generates is by taking it out of our pockets.
