(5,610 posts)"Our" politicians are paid a salary in excess of $120,000. Not many Americans are paid that.
They "work" part-time and get 10x that amount in "legal" corruption. 95% of them (approx.,) are or will become millionaires within months of being elected. After that, they are MIA to the average constituent unless that person is wealthy. Our political system is about on par with Chinas. Hell, it could be North Koreas for all they accomplish.
We are not a democracy, we are (at best) a corptocracy.
No one is willing to stop this, well their are a few. Bernie Sanders knows how to get around this B.S. and will take issues like this to the people and stir the pot, finding a way to get the money out of our system.
FDR Democracy= Bernie Sanders Democracy.
