Give Me That Money
On Capital Hill - Congress and the Big 3 sat down to parlay in the back room , where the news media could'nt get at them. To discuss their " New Plan " for the future.
Congress : What in God's name were you 3 thinking , by jetting in here in 3 private luxury planes ?
Big 3 : It's the life style we are accustomed to
Congress : Why did'nt you use a more private luxury airline , like Vanderbilt University Airlines ?
Big 3 : They have luxury jets ?
Congress : You bet cha they do and they will gladly fly you around for free
Big 3 : Free ? How can they do that ?
Congress : How do you think they can have tax exempt status , while making Billions in tax free profit ?
Big 3 : You guys did that ?
Congress : You bet cha. Now then , you set me and the boys up with free SUVs with free maintenance and gas and we will put you on their " Good Ole Boys " list.
Big 3 : Just like that ?
Congress : Yep , just like that. And of course , we will need our usual percentage , placed under the table and you do understand that is not refundable.
Big 3 : You do understand that we are broke , butt , we can pay you after we get " our money ".
Congress : Not a problem , we will just add another Billion to your requested total for our end.
Big 3 : You know what ? It would really help us , if we had that tax exempt status , like Vanderbilt.
Congress : No problem , no problem at all gentlemen. Butt of course you know , that'll cost ya extra.
Big 3 : Hmmmm. Are you talking about it costing us or the American people ?
