WHY do perfectly "sane" people think the 10% are going to spend that money we are putting in their pockets on what they SHOULD spend it on WITHOUT SOMEKIND OF CONTRACT???

Wouldn't the "good business" community be THE FIRST to say "Get it in writing"??? We're just giving them OUR MONEY - by financing their free ride on resources that WE pay for - and we don't get what we expect in return for our investment locked in legally somehow??? How fucking STUPID is that?

It's very telling that one of the first principles of good business is completely IGNORED by these fucking Tories who are in Congress.
