Spin

I love it when the Democrats say that Republicans are blocking the Finance Reform, because they have their hand in the pocket of Wall St. When you look at the actual data, they have their hand less in the pocket of wall street than Democrats. Especially in the case of Securities & Investments where Democrats received 61% of the contributions, which coincidentally is the area the reform would hit the hardest. So maybe they are blocking it because it isn't thought out well enough, and there are items inside the bill that would do more harm than good for our financial system.




I seriously wish there was a news source that was unbiased, but there never seems to be one, so people have to rely on themselves to find the actual facts. I found some actual facts for you. Go to www.opensecrets.org and you can find out a lot about government official's monetary interests.

Like the fact that 8 of the Top 10 Richest members (by total net worth) of Congress are actually Democrats, yet the media paints republicans as the "fat cats".
