Love the cartoon, Sonic. Too bad money corrupts and ignorance f...ks. Maybe there ought to be a law that says candidates for pubic office must pass an IQ test with a score at least above 120 (and that might even be too low). Another law might be that they take a "vow of poverty" of some sort, on penalty of forfeiting all salary paid them as a public servant, with all their estate liable as collateral for recovery should they be found guilty of accepting "gifts and freebees", bribes, or flat out voting in favor of lobbyist's "wants" instead of what the majoritiy of their constituents want.
In fact, maybe we should do away with both party responsibilities except as preparers of bills, which even anyone in the general public could prepare and submit for vote. Then the bills go directly to the entire public for vote! F...k the lobbyists real good,....and the crooked politiians, too! Just have public voting every month or two on anything new that is ready for voting. let the public do it on the internet. No party affiliations anymore required by anyone, just the public and some folks that get hired to write bills.
.....true democracy by majority. Never happen though. Just the thought of it scares the super-rich to the point of them losing all control over their bowels!
