Of course they should be in jail. But we elected them and have let them get away with murder and other crimminal acts for around a century now, so perhaps we should look in the mirror for the statist demon.

The people of the United States have exactly the government they want. I just proved this to myself. Every two years, the people have the opportunity to replace the entire House of Representatives. Over a little longer period, they can replace the entire Senate. Every four years, they can replace the President.

I just completed a campaign for congress for an open seat. I am a workingman. I quit my job and spent four months relentlessly traveling the district and talking to thousands of people. I am confident I spoke to more voters than did all of my opponents combined. I made my passionate case and was greeted warmly almost everywhere. On primary election day, the voters overwhelmingly voted for a career politician. I received 625 votes. If the people want good representatives with common sense and without selfish ambition, they must elect them. The people simply will not elect the kind of everyday people who can save the country.
