NC Biotechnology

Great news! The North Carolina Biotechnology Center is expanding! Hooray. So what is this center? It's called "a private, non-profit corporation." Of course in today's newspeak, what that really means is that it's a government front group. Seriously.

Here's how it works: the Democrats in the North Carolina Legislature create a "corporation." They register it as "non-profit." They make it "private." Then they appoint their friends (or even themselves) on the board that runs the corporation. Since it's "private," no one is allowed to see the records of the "corporation." Then they pass laws providing the funding for the "private non-profit corporation." And yes, they often draw personal salaries from these "corporations."

So in North Carolina, when you see "private, non-profit corporation" what that really means is "a company that the Democrats in the Legislature use to launder taxpayer cash to their personal pocketbooks." And again, since they're private, no one is allowed to see their records. And since they're "non-profit," they can just exist to pay out cash to their board of directors.

If I did anything like that, I'd be arrested. But this is the Democrat Legislature of North Carolina, and they answer to no one. Just keep paying your taxes, these legislators just need more money to spend on themselves.

1 Maybe I should run for office and start a private non profit corp. Sounds like a "shut yer pie hole, pay your taxes and quit asking questions citizen" low overhead operation! Add free healthcare courtesy of the Dems and I'm ready to retire in style! *snicker*

2 You can do so in NC. Of course, you have to be a Democrat, and you have to get permission from the party bosses. Once you're in, you're in. And if you oppose them, strange things might happen to your and your finances, and your body parts...

3 Oh... Mafia!!!! Omerta!!! Lord, politics can be so corrupt, but I know from what I have seen in my own hometown that the Dems just do corruption better! It's like "Good Ole Boy Networks R Us" should be tattoo'd on their foreheads.

4 And in North Carolina you have to realize one thing -- Democrats have been in power for OVER 100 years. They have a system set up so they will retain power no matter the cost. It's a serious good ol boy network here.

5 Indiana is traditionally Republican, but we have a Republican Governor who acts like a Moonbat. Go figure. There are a lot of fake conservatives and/or Republicans out there.

6 To show you how gerrymandered North Carolina is -- the people, as a state, have voted for a Republican for President every election since the 1970s -- but cannot get a majority in the House or Senate (other than once time in the House). Each year, thousands more people vote for Republicans for Senate, but the Democrats retain a giant majority.
