[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Does anybody notice how non-responsive the Congress has become to the American electorate ?

Our Nation was built on freedoms which were protected by government in the ‘Bill of Rights’and the Constitution .
Now , government seems to have become larger , and the role of citizens is to financially support this engrossed bureaucracy .
Our rights are steadily being trampled , one-by-one .
We , and our rights , are now becomming subservient to government largess.

Why should they be responsive?

They’ve got an 8% approval rate and a 90% re-election rate.

Did you really mean to say that? Congress is very repsonsive to the electorate. That is the problem. The electorate is composed of a majority who believe they are owed free s**t from cellphones to Social Security. Congress is giving them what they want.

Most members of Congress are in an occupation where many call themselves, "Esquire." They do special tasks for special constituents.
