In Which House Do You Want To Be Screwed?
For you sheltered citizens, the BunnyRanch is a House of Prostitution. It has been in business for decades, which says a lot for its business model. Unless a business delivers a good product at a reasonable price, it does not stay around for long. Obviously the BunnyRanch is doing something right. Its operating procedure is simple. A citizen arrives at the door, knowing what he wants to buy. He probably already knows the prices of the various services so there is no need to compromise on either side. The people who work in the house also know what they are expected to do to deliver their services to the customer. Money is paid transparently and the service is delivered on the spot. The buyer is screwed in an expected way and leaves feeling that he has gotten his money’s worth. The most bang for his buck, so to speak. Contrasting the model of capitalism at the BunnyRanch is the United States House of Representatives, where virtually nothing is as it seems and business is transacted by people called Congressmen or Congresswomen, using other people’s money, and rarely, if ever, leaving their customers with a sense that their screwing brought them any satisfaction at all. The amazing thing is that these congresspeople still have not figured out or even understand what it is that they are expected to do as far as servicing their customers, we, the American people. Unfortunately, this second house is still conducting business as usual, despite its flawed business model. Secrecy and lower moral standards than the girls at the BunnyRanch have, might be part of the answer to that question. Much of the business transacted in the Washington House is done behind closed doors, so no one knows what is being done. If people knew, it is likely that they would fire their representatives, who are not representing them and are, more often than not, really representing themselves. The currency used in these undercover transactions is influence and power. Sometimes it is cash but cash can be traced, whereas influence can be disguised as a swan, when actually it is a pig. How else, other than influence peddling, can we explain the recent disgraceful performance by the Democrats in the United States House of Representatives when they passed the Obamacare health bill? What happened to make a House representative change a strongly held position, in October, to a completely opposite one in March? If that change can be bought, does that put the buyer in the same category as the workers at the BunnyRanch? I’d say yes. Finding out why a change took place is almost impossible, though. It will rarely be explained in public, because it cannot stand exposure. It is usually commented on by the Representative as, “Although I still maintain my previously held personal opinion, upon further consideration I find that voting yes (or no) on this bill would be in the best interests of my constituents.” This is total horse doody, which becomes apparent when that representative mysteriously gets a committee chairmanship that he is not qualified for, or a bridge gets built in his home district that insures his re-election, or simply a cash infusion into his/her reelection campaign bank account. Prostitution is not necessarily a sex act. It is one in which a person exchanges or compromises a part of his or her morality, principles or beliefs for personal monetary or other type of gain. The definition sticks. The only thing to be determined is the price. If you have nothing else in your life that takes up your time, you might make a list of every Democrat congressperson who switched votes on the Obama Health Care bill, and see if there are any unexplainable changes in their professional lives. From where did that promotion to chairman come, or appointment to that cherished committee? Or ambassadorship to a sunny clime? That’ll establish the price at which they were bought, and you can put a P next to that name. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com A.
