Received this from a friend. think it may be a bit out of date as it will have been going the rounds for some time. However.......


I bet this will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Can you imagine working for a company that only has a little more than
635 employees, but, has the following employee statistics..

29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques
17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax
payer £92,993,748 in expenses!!! Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons.

The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed
to keep the rest of us in line.

What a bunch of crooks we have running our country

And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate'
pension scheme in the country - whilst trying to ensure that everyone
else has the worst possible!!
