This author truly captures our community in a nutshell.

We are politically castrated, politically ignorant.

A few weeks ago I was at a fundraiser that the Chaldean Business Community held for the Governor of Michigan. $500 per ticket, if I remember correctly.

Everybody was so excited to see and be seen, and to have their photos with the Governor. But when it came time for questions and answers, the rich and ignorant Chaldeans went silent. They had the Governor's ear, and they had nothing to say.

And then they wonder why politicans say "Chaldeans are the best community to get money from and give them nothing in return"...

I can't even begin to explain to you how much money the Chaldeans have given to politicans, only to be ignored afterwards.

Hell, one Chaldean family even gave Bill Clinton a million dollars because they thought he would stop the Sanctions on Iraq 10 years ago. One Million Dollars.
