The problem is both parties are comprised of politicians.....politicians are NOT your friend.
and, most politicians are lawyers first and businessmen second.
The "problem" is that we have career politicians. The Founding Fathers never meant the government to be set up that way. Senators should be kicked out after serving two terms and Reps. after serving 3 terms. Then we would get some responsible people in serving the taxpayers. And if they turned out not to be responsible, we wouldn't have them in office until they died.
I think you are right.
