Thank YOU for your excellent post.

“Pray for our David, President Trump who is fighting Goliath, the deep state banksters, bloated bureaucracy, entrenched D.C., K-Street lobbyists”

You know, it was only a decade or so ago that a decent lobbyist could earn maybe 150-200,000 per year. Today, 2 to 5 MILLION is what the cream of the crop earn. Remember Trent Lott? (I always called him Trent NOT, because he caved to the Dems 100% of the time). Well, Lott owned a lobby firm. He sold it a few years ago to an even bigger existing firm for 12 million, plus an additional 5 million directly to Lott. This has got to be exposed, and shut down.

Wow, didn't know about Lott. They go to Washington D.C., see all that Taxpayer cash coming in, And see Trillions going out to the 'needy' and various bogus government boondoggle programs and say, "Hey, can I get a piece of that easy money." Maybe I can get a grant, or a bribe, or grease some skids somewhere and get a lobbying job when I'm done."

Constituents? What constituents. I have to talk to them every 2, 4 or 6 years, BS them so I can get back to the money machine. I keep coming back to the Axis of Evil thought.

It's as if our government has been taken over by an evil cabal and it truly has. They have no real say in their decisions. Their staffers, who probably deal with the various donors, lobbyists on K-Street and special interest groups that walk through the door - their staffers 'gather up' all this information and tell the Congressman the 'preferred' way to vote and there you have it.

Is this the representative government we voted for?

Taxation without Representation?

Pitchfork time or go to Water the Tree of Liberty?
