Tribute Iii

Chelsea’s well paid by NBC
Doing nothing apparently
Is this a charade
For payoffs to be made
Since Clintons adore bribery?


This is a modern form of "tribute".  There is an incest epidemic in the USA.  We're talking millions, and this is only a very small slice.

She got paid $600,000 a year for four years by NBC (I liken it to incest). Now, Senator Manchin is the democratic Senator from WV. His daughter, the CEO of Mylin Pharmaceuticals, has managed to raise the price of the EpiPen (by 600%) and is making millions at the expense of the poor and the rest of us. It's all about the rich, Congress, and funneling wealth from us to them. Hate to be so negative. You are the best!!

I was just in Toronto this past week. Had never been there before. Saw a wonderful play that just ended called "Disgraced" (at the Panasonic Theater). It is amazing to me how much construction is taking place. I met a lot of very nice people, and I can see why you like your country.
