    Washington needs to eliminate the lobbyists groups that pour millions and millions of dollars into the hands of politicians to buy their vote. Groups like the NRA, Koch brothers, the pharma companies etc. Eliminate their ability to buy votes and then maybe the people can regain this country. Why should these politicians be allowed to rake in millions well beyond their salaries?

    His name is in green font and you will notice he makes sarcastic comments quite often.

    Those of us whose names are in green font are fully licensed for sarcasm in any post.

    I never make sarcastic comments. I made sardonic comments. Learn the game, then post.

    I'm all for that. On both sides too. Then term & age limits, and no more filibustering.
    Government has gotten way to damn big too, and way to many regulations.

    Murder is illegal, yet it happens.

    Accepting bribes and/or trading political favors for money is/are illegal, yet they happen.

    The answer is simple.

    Prohibit the enactment of any and all new laws, completely eliminating the supposed need for politicians.
