The most horrifying and terrifying (I use these words after considerable thought) thing about the United States today is the apathy of the American people.
To tolerate such corruption, dishonesty, lying, and exploitation by a ruling class is breathtaking. In past years--past generations--it would have been unthinkable.
The THUGS in Washington exploit the American people openly, shamelessly, and with impunity. The American people do nothing.
The benefits the CONGRESS-THUGS have voted themselves are astonishing. More astonishing is that the American people tolerate it.
ONE example is their health care insurance. They have no intention of subjecting themselves to the same health care insurance that they foist on the American people.
In fact--they have no intention of subjecting themselves to the same LAWS that they foist on the American people.
And the most astonishing--and frightening--thing about it all is that the American people tolerate all this--and even encourage it!
