44. Why hasn't this and many other things

Why hasn't this and many other things ever been addressed/????????????/

The only thing the Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate can agree on unanimously, is not to do anything that will effect themselves, the Corporations, the Uber Rich, or any and all major donors to their campaigns. Sure there are a few of them that are willing to try to do something, but in the end, just look at the Net Worth of the house members and senate members. They all have so much more free time when they don't have to campaign for grass root money of five or ten bucks at a time, when some corporation or single Uber Rich gives them more all in one donation than they can get from running around getting somewhat tiny donations from the people.

Some French? guy back in the 1700's, when we first declared us a Democracy said:

"Democracy will work just fine until some political party or group of Uber Wealthy figure out that they can vote themselves money......."

For fun, check out, (google) the net worth of politicians in Congress and Senate, Republicans and Democrats alike. You may be shocked at what you see..............Ever wonder why a candidate was willing to seek and spend Tens of Millions of dollars to get and to keep a job that only pays a couple of hundred thousands a year......LOL

I can remember when Lyndon Johnson basically went into the presidency without much money, and came out with a Net Worth of over twenty million a few years later. And, don't forget the massive amount of knowledge they gain in advance of the public and stock markets, that they can use (insider trading it's called) to make their networth soar..........

George Carlin said something like: It's a private group, AND YOU AIN'T IN IT FOLKS...............NOT SO FUNNY ANYMORE, IS IT....
