Q. How many politicians does it take to screw in a light bulb in America?
A. 535
In 2007, the U.S. Congress decided that the American people could not make their own choices about light bulbs so they passed a law banning the importation and manufacture of standard 100 watt, 75 watt, 60 watt, and 40 watt incandescent light bulbs, forcing we, the people to use the stupid and expensive Compact Florescent light bulbs. Congress controls all the light bulbs in America.
There are 535 members of Congress. 535. That's how many politicians it takes to screw in a light bulb in America.
