“Why not stop electing people who are lawyers? Deceit and greed are their stock-in-trade.”

Better still, do as Great Britain has done, make it illegal for a lawyer to become a legislator! My guess though is that the lawyers alone are not the problem. If we had an objective media that would research and report exactly what each member of Congress has done, that we would re-elect almost none of them. And yet, the 21 longest serving members of the US Senate have been there for a total of more than 521 years! So we are to blame for allowing them to stay and line their pockets at our expense.

I did not know that Britain barred lawyers from being legislators, but I damn well like the idea.

Wall St.
Big Oil
Mega-Corp.....

All pikers compared to the legal industry in this country. They’ve got the biggest self sustaining, self regulating racket going.

Corrupt to the core.
