The Video:
Culture of Corruption
Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district. Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi. Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa, employing 75% of the Samoan work force.Paul Pelosi, Nancy’s husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25,
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not
have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than those of their competition.
When the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill, adding $33 million dollars for an “economic development credit in American Samoa”.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration “CORRUPT”, and blamed the financial crisis on them, even though he warned of it and congress threw out his remedial proposal. Now she wants the American people to pay THIS, as part of the economic stimulus package!
How do you spell “HYPOCRISY” ? “Culture of Corruption”, one of Speaker Pelosi’s favorite slurs against others, has just been defined.
