Why do we actually have elected representatives?
 
I'm serious..why bother. They 100% do not work for the American people. I have been calling my Congressman's office (Austin Scott Ga 8th district) raising hell about private equity firms buying up all the residential real estate in America. This will and is literally destroying the American dream of home ownership. Meanwhile, these stupid sonsabitches are voting on whether or not to ****ing ban TikTok. Biden apparently gets a free pass over taking classified documents he couldn't declassify, while Trump has his damn house raided and he could declassify shit. And our ***** ass leaders don't want us to call illegal scum illegals. They are lawbreakers bent on destroying our Gotdamn country. How much more will Americans take before the wheels totally come off. America is in the process, if not already there, of becoming a 3rd world country. It's sickening on every damn level. :banghead:

pols lie.
pols do not want to change things.
pols want to make as much money as they can.
pols only work on things that will make them money.
pols have a special place reserved in hell.

This is not the country we grew up in. We have become subjects, not citizens.

They put a facade of legitimacy on government, and most people buy into it.

The only real alternative is to tear it down and start over. I firmly believe it will eventually happen when enough good people who wanted to be left alone start losing everything.

Try Buddy Carter instead. He was my pharmacist before he sought office and is a genuine human being.

The illusion of choice, is the purpose of politics. The real power lies in the ability to issue and control, a Nation’s money/currency. Anyone can overcome this system, if they choose to. Doesn’t mean you can choose to overcome the consequences of those that don’t, however.

Its about power not money, money is just a means to that end.

Yes, once the current crop of voters realized they can vote themselves largess from the public coffers (paraphrasing a famous quote) and have the government take care of them things go to hell... These dolts cause the nation to "back up" into socialism and that's happening now.

Politicians work for their corporate donors, not us. They create bills that make the corporations that financed their campaigns richer with our money (taxpayer money). That's how US politics works.
