Got this in my email also. Spot on. Looking forward to the day that pols can't be bought, or the price drops right for the middle class.

Should we celebrate?

[P.A.]

Perhaps we should raise their taxes even higher than Obama wants too. just to make sure they don't have money to buy even the cheapest politicians like Paul Ryan or Eric Cantor.

Oh you guys. Does no one feel for the poor politicians who are going to suffer the indignity of having to live on their outrageous salaries alone?

How remiss of us, we are an insensitive group.  We need to make sure they have their health insurance, their pensions, their time off, etc., etc.

  "While the American family has seen increases in the cost of food, health care and education, Mr. Adelson says, “those costs don’t compare with the cost of buying a politician, which has gone through the roof.”
