It's a game the political establishment has been playing on us for eons. And only Congressional term limits would be a definite solution to that.

I agree 100% about the need for congressional term limits. There are other reforms that could help.

Legalized bribery in a huge problem. High dollar speaking fees and book deals are always bribes. The quid pro quo exists but can't be proved. Hillary and Bill Clinton are worth well over one hundred million. Obama is worth over 40 million. I wish they, and all the others, would choke on their riches.

In the primary, I voted for Bernie Sanders. Bernie will never earn enormous speaking fees or corrupt book deals because he isn't owned by special interests.

Our politicians are for sale. As Swindell said, "money talks--bullshite walks." We aren't privy to back room conversations between politicians. We all know that politicians get together in secret and conspire against the common good for their own personal interests. If politicians voted remotely and couldn't gather in person we would be better off.
