Washington is for sale to the highest bidder, literally.

Politics is legalized corruption. Sound crazy? What is the job of a lobbyist?

—Selling art
—Donations to charities
—Donations to foundations
—De facto insider trading
—Huge speaking fees
—Hiring relatives

There are a hundred different ways, but one thing is a fact, most of Congress becomes very wealthy while “serving the public.”

It’s the greatest job in the world...... this is why they easily figure out what to tell their potential voters what they want to hear to get the job. And we just don’t seem to figure that out. We think they run to save the country and serve us. After all they tell us they are fighting for us.
