There is a ruling class in the USA, which was founded on the principle that there were no classes, a principle that it quickly shot to hell with slavery and jim crow, and which has never actually been put into practice.
Congress is the ruling class. It makes laws for the common herd, and doesn’t obey them. What seems like hundreds of years ago I read a book that detailed the privileges congress has given itself. I would like to find an updated version of that book.
Congress has the power to take our money or to give us money, depending on whether we vote one way or another. It has abused that power.
We threw out the monarchy, only to anoint congress as the royal family with privileges far beyond anything a normal person can hope for.
And how did nancy get so rich on a congressional salary?
Another reason to insist upon TERM LIMITS. Get the hell out, and live under the laws you passed.
