“politics is just way too corrupt”
Ya think!
I’d wager my life’s savings that if members of congress were paid a salary at or near the average national income, where the point of serving in Congress was to actually serve the national interests for a brief time, where congress members, serving briefly like most military veterans, and without the lifetime pension, and without big interests filling their political coffers, we would have a well adjusted Constitutionally law abiding congress serving we the people.
As it is now, once they get elected, they make a fat check, do favors for special interests for more money, and if they are defeated next time round, they still realize a big fat pension after serving only a few years.
The answer? Limit their income. Limit the time they serve. Do away with their fat pensions. Jail them for a long time if they are caught on the take.
Yeah.. I know... You are right on all aspects. Don’t think that things will change in the near or far future though. I have given up - but at my age, that is okay - it is a problem if you youngsters give up though... Sometimes I think that I would love to give my life fighting for liberty.... Seems a bit useless these days - hell, most of the youngsters want to forgo Capitalism for their own ideas of government.
I do try to educate my son though...little hope though since the professors have priority...
Don’t go there ... limiting “free speech” is never a good idea.
Beat the big spenders by being a rock solid defender of the Constitution, of the Framers, of limited government and unleashed individual liberty linked with requisite responsibility.
That will work.
