But how will we ever get it changed? The laws are made by those who benefit from the laws. I don't see much hope that things will ever improve. What do we do, write our senators and members of congress? Do you believe there are any in office who are honest enough and care enough about America that they would put their own interests behind those of the American people? It's kind of like how cheating in school is now - if everyone else is doing it, I might as well, too. And it's ashame that a person has to be rich to be able to run for public office, even on the local level. We lose out on a lot of qualified people because it costs so much to run for public office. Wish I had an answer.
