So how is it that non-entities always end up in leadership positions?

Why would billionaire elites pay to elect "entities" who have free will?

Here's an interesting idea:

1. The US Supreme Court Reynolds vs Simms decision and the 17th Amendment were both attempts to reinforce the idea of "one man, one vote".

2. The House and Senate have organized themselves through the committee system in such a way that certain congressmen are more powerful than others, i.e. some citizens have more power than others which presumably is a bad thing.

3. Bring a case to the Supreme Court that the House and Senate leaders have to be voted in my popular vote of the people rather than by vote of their members.

4. This will tend to lead to firebrands and populists leading rather than spineless trolls.

5. When the people are stupid enough to vote for liberal firebrands who will try and implement crazy, expensive stuff they will quickly rue the day and vote someone else in there (hopefully).

6. If the people vote in conservative firebrands like Cruz then the US will be a much better place.
