This is what frustrates me the most. If they wanted to go after corruption, they could. It's in plain sight. None of them want to do anything about the actual corruption because they all participate in it.
Doing it for decades. Instigated military intervention for commerce and the commercial interest of a few. Flag waving and bible thumping and commie fear mongering was often used to provide a smokescreen for the perpetrators of BS. The flag & cross on a politicians lapels serves as warning labels.
We back the dictator in Iraq for a long time. Regarding Iraq’s invasion? Over oil pricing. Iraq was broke after the Iran war, a country that we helped end their democracy btw. They wanted Kuwait to hold the prices on oil and they wouldn’t.
One of the reasons establishment Dems need to go... Pelosi has always been a big advocate for allowing it in Congress .. then when it became too politically toxic to keep backing it they sent the bill to committee to let it die there... That sh-t really turns off already apathetic voters.
That's nothing when you allow an unelected billionaire with billions in government contracts and subsidies to decide what government agencies and government spending will be cut?
I'd argue that their wages aren't the problem ... They aren't becoming millionaires on their $200k salary .. it's all the outside money they're receiving for voting a particular way.
I'd like to see all politician salaries tied to the median income of the area they rep and ban all outside money
