Reader reviews for Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets

From the publisher

A bombshell investigation reveals how Washington really works: politicians extort money from us, then use it to buy each other's votes. Best-selling author Peter Schweizer reveals:

*Obama's Protection Money: How the Obama Administration targeted industries for criminal investigation but chose not to pursue key political donors.

*John Boehner's Tollbooth: How the Speaker of the House extracts money by soliciting political donations before he will hold crucial votes on the House floor.

*The Slush Fund: How politicians extract campaign contributions and then convert them to bankroll lavish lifestyles complete with limos, private jets, golf at five-star resorts, fine wines, and cash for family members.

*Capitol Hill's Underground Economy: How congressmen use a little-known loophole that allows them to secretly link their votes to cash.

Extortion finally makes clear why Congress is so dysfunctional: it's all about making money, not making law.
