No Coffee For You

Here's one more example of Washington screwing you and me.

Blooomberg is reporting election officials in Washington State have put the kibosh on Starbuck's offer to give all of us who vote a free Cup of Joe. Seems that federal law prohibits the payment of money, goods or services in return for voting. Thank God there on top of this. Can you imagine the corruption. It could have been worse than hanging chads.

Keep this in mind the next time you argue in favor of single-payer health care insurance. Remember who and how the rules will be enforced.

(Sorry no link to Bloomberg. Their site is running like a pig. Check it out if you have insomnia.)
