You trust the Democrats? You believe they don't have enough money to run their offices? Do the math on how much money you would have to have in the bank at .01% guaranteed interest rates to have this much in spending money each year, and that will tell you how BOTH sides are living.
I simply keep reminding people that "our elected officials" in the House EACH get a $1.2 - $1.6 MILLION stipend of taxpayer money to help them do their job, and EACH one in the Senate dips their sociopath hand in the same taxpayer bucket for $2.6 - $4.9 MILLION EACH! If you had that much GUARANTEED, tax-free income, plus your $170,000+ salary and only God knows the perks from big business on top of all of this, would you be worried about ANYTHING happening to the sheeple?
The love of money is the root of all evil, and power corrupts. It's been the perfect storm for creating sociopaths and psychopaths in DC since they figured out they could rig the system in their favor many years ago.
Think about it. If you had a cook, a personal trainer (if you wanted one), a dog trainer, a housekeeper, a chauffeur, a bill reader, a speech writer, a bodyguard or two, important people calling constantly wanting favors and willing to give you all sorts of crap to get them, and a dozen interns, most 30-50 years younger than you and willing to rub your feet and any other body parts you designate just to keep their jobs, what would your state of mind be? Would you begin to think you were a king above all of the small people in the country? Would you live in your head in another realm?
