SPECIAL FAVOR

How much does it cost for special favor?

How many politicians will do what you want when you give them what they want?

Does the buck stop there?

Special favor comes with a cost?

Is that part of the problem?

We aren't paying for favor...

We are accepting a verbal promise...

I guess for a sweet deal...

We always need to put a little sugar on top?

Get out of jail card is never free?

Freedom always comes at a cost?

Who gets paid?

Who gets screwed?

Who's having lobster?

Who's eating cat food?

When cash talks...

Something walks?

Special favor I won't buy...

I will see you on the other side...

Hugs...

Hello Tony...

Have you ever wondered what things would be different if people couldn't be bought?

I mean if the buyer couldn't be bought they obviously would have no favoritism...

It's amazing that a prostitute gets arrested, slandered and beaten...

They usually have a pimp and it's not always alway male either...

They consider it illegal as hell...

Really, what's the difference? 

Thank you for your comment and support...

Hello Sis Cherie...

It's not a matter of personal frustration per say...

We are put in jail when we break the law while others celebrate and fill a room with laughter when they do it...

Because they can?

Embezzlement is a crime?

Bribery is a crime?

They are very high paid legal prostitutes...

Right?

Thank you for your comment and support! 

Love n hugs
