When Dole was elected to congress, his Russell, Kansas community paid for his transportation to DC. After a few years in Congress, he ran for the Senate and when he left to run for President in '06, he was a multimillionaire!
America, is this a great country or what - a handicapped poor guy from Kansas, turns in travel tickets into millions while living in DC?
I can't explain how this happens except by illegal deals with lobbiests, insider trading, which is a felony for the rest of us, just ask Martha Stewart, and all sorts of unethical deals!
Oh, you are so right. :)
