One word: “Staffers”.

You can get rid of any Rep or Senator you want; you can get rid of ALL of them. It still won’t make a difference. To make any meaningful change in Washington, you gotta get rid of the staffers. They are the ones that actually write the laws and advise the Congresscritter how to vote on specific bills.

So, it's fair to say, not all, but most politicians are running for office to get a free lunch! Then they use all of our hard earned money, to pay their staff to do the real work while they wine and dine and get cozy with lobbyist?
