The One Percent

But, like everyone else we vote these people in to run the countries and never bother to get rid of them so they join the gravy train with excessive pensions etc.

I'm telling you, we're fucked by lobbyists and campaign financing.

I read this morning that our county board of supervisors just authorized $400k to pay for lobbyists. If you multiply that number over and over and over again, how much money is going towards basically buying votes and political favors? The whole damn system is corrupt. We've got to get money out of the election/political process.

I'd love a good independent candidate. I'd really like to flip off both parties this election and vote for someone who isn't beholden to either party.
