Everybody knew Murtha was a crook, like almost all RATS. Our whole system is corrupt, not just a few big shots on Wall Street, like the OWS leftists claim, and the biggest crooks in the US are the RATS in Washington and every state capitol.
The way I see it, corporate corruption follows political corruption. Money just follows the path of least resistance; when there’s too much power concentrated in one place, those who want to make money have to pay to play. The problem is that politicians have the power of life and death over businesses.
