The best government money can buy

I've often wondered why, exactly, I'm not represented by my representatives. Not only do these makers of laws not actually write the laws they pass, they often don't even read them. Apparently, they don't need to read them. They are mere pawns of those who pay well to get laws passed in their favor--writing the bills is just icing on the cake. It's symbiotic, so I'm not sure we'll see this system go away any time soon.

This linking up of the new blood with the old system is covered by this CNN article and called "education". Gotta love that. If calling something what it is will make waves, call it something as near the opposite as you can get.

You want representation? Show me the money.
