You Have It Backwards

Howie Klein wonders, "Do ALL The Members Of The House Financial Services Committee Take Bribes From The Banksters?"

He has it backwards. The HFCS is a bloated and overstaffed committee, with two or three times the members that it actually needs, and it does this, because it's known as a "money" committee.

Basically, people are put on it so that they can fund raise from the banksters.

It's less of a bribe than it is a shakedown.

The purpose of the committee at its current size is to facilitate taking legalized bribes from the financial services industry.
