It's exactly how the economy of the US works. The fact that it's so simple only proves how completely incompetent politicians are and how ignorant Americans are to keep voting for the wrong guy. Calling it "right-wing" doesn't make you look more intelligent or convincing. You may not be an idiot, but you sure are brainwashed and completely ignorant of reality. Good luck in the next 5-10 years, like many Americans, you're going to need it.

Never seen so much ignorance in one reply, LOL.

A bit ironic for a video from the Heritage Foundation to complain about pork-barrel politics and influence peddling causing problems, given that's pretty much what they do for a living.

They take so much money from us and we are trillions of dollars in debt!  I say get rid of the bums!

He acts more like an Islamic puppet giving 17 S.E.A.L.S in exchange for 1 muslim terrorist.

It's the same system no matter who becomes president. Voting is a joke anymore. America screwed itself when it became dependent on it's people shopping in order to thrive. What a stupid way to run a country. Well, gee I hope people go shopping tomorrow our very existence is dependent on it. That's just fucking stupid. Let's close those politician resort golf clubs. The politicians can go suck corporate cock in a sleazy motel just as good.

@govapes Yes. You have to cut the grass to see the snakes, and the grass is pretty tall. On another note, we need the second amendment to protect the first. Visit popvox.com for an easy way to stay up to date on the latest legislation, and voice your opinion to your local representatives.
