Revelation1217
If our founding fathers could see the cesspool that the U.S. Congress has become today, they would roll over in their graves. Most Americans don't realize this, but we already have a "part-time Congress". Members of Congress only "work" a little over a third of the days on the calendar. The rest of the time they have off. It is no wonder why so many members of Congress are involved in so much corruption - they have so much free time on their hands that they are bound to get into trouble. Many members of Congress also use their positions of power and the information they learn during the course of their duties to become fabulously wealthy. At a time when incomes nationally are actually declining, our Congress critters are becoming stinking rich at a staggering pace. Yes, politics in America has always been a game that is funded and played by wealthy individuals, but things have gotten so extreme that it is hard to argue that average Americans have any control over Congress at all at this point. Instead of a government "of the people, by the people and for the people", we now have a government "of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy". If you doubt this, just keep on reading.

    • Now wait a minute, lets get a little perspective here. The piece refers to our forefathers. Maybe your forefather but not mine, My dad worked 40 hrs a week. As for our nations forefathers they were mostly aristocrats who didn't work at all. That and the fact that if we were to be back then we would be bowing to them in their presence. That plus we didn't even have the right to vote back then so in all this piece just sucks totally. The fact that politicians don't work doesn't bother me as the fact that they are corrupt sleazebags who when they do work, its all for corporate interests.

    • Oh, I believe it. I'm pretty sure most folks here on Current believe it. And soon, everyone else in what's left of this country will believe how our corrupt, lazy and stinking rich Congress is no longer accountable to their constituents.

      My only hope is that moment comes soon.
