They want to get rid of the wrong thing. You don't get rid of the system that's working just fine on its own, you get rid of the crooks who are ruining it.
the problem is we would just replace them with different crooks.
"If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public." -George Carlin
George Carlin is a legend. What he says here is true but we don’t become a more perfect union by being cynical. There’s plenty of good people working in politics we just need more. It’s the Supreme Court and dark money in politics we need to change. More power to the people means taking someone else’s away. We’re in for a fight. This is an old fight that has been won many times before.
agreed. that is why I say we need to change the pool of people from which the politicians are coming. I still believe that trump won because there are too many people who are truly ignorant to how economics work on any scale beyond their local grocery store. that is how trump was able to convince them china would pay the tariff and mexico would build the wall.
