Corruption is running rampid in our government, end of story.Petty thieves and drug offenders fill our prisons, but they should be full of politicians and wall st. assholes.Our leaders are nothing more than drug dealers.Iran Contra and Fast and Furious are all the evidence we need to understand the mindset.These so called leaders are mere high profile thugs.Anyone who supports them are mere msm zombies.Houston,we have a major problem in congress.It won't heal itself, either.Peace.

How do "we the people" put an end to the way our country governs? The system is corrupt and therefore those we elect who weren't corrupt eventually become so eventually. Most politicians are psychopaths who don't care about you or me. It's all about them. How about a psychological evaluation before anyone can take office in our govt.?

Inspired by this video, I created a Whitehouse.gov "We the people" petition. Please check it out! [wh.gov (/) zq9h ]

There's evidence this type of corruption was going on in the 18th century. But it's certain it was going on during the 19th century people talk about it, lincoln, etc. During the industrial revolution they used lobbyists to support child labor. We almost didn't win that one.

I love America! But the shitheads in office who "think" its for the better of the people can go to northkorea and find the nuclear bombs that they "thought" was in iraq and bring it to the caves of afghanistan where they "knew" osama bin laden was hiding.. And shove it up their candy asses!! And thats the bottom line because "congress" said soo.. The MAIN REASON for tax raises and "spendind cuts" is because of WAR! It is the (ONLY) "legacy" left of anyone who gets "elected" into office. TRUTH!
