I'm surprised at only 52%Returning to that Rasmussen Poll this week:
Rasmussen runs a weekly poll to determine what Americans (likely voters) are most concerned about.
The overwhelming #1 issue has been the Economy and Jobs for many weeks now.
The #2 issue however is corruption and graft in government.
52% think that most members of Congress would sell their vote.
Hope springs eternal. Many Americans really don't believe the people they're voting into office would sell them out for personal gain. A few brave voices out there are ringing the alarm though. The system provided in the Constitution still works if it is followed. But the people we have called on to implement it are broken. I think a growing number of Americans are finally swallowing their pride and admitting that.
One of the first things you learn in a good management school is that you cannot fix a bad system just by changing the people. And you cannot change flawed people by changing the system. So we have had some bad people who have created a bad system for a very long time now.
And maybe our first priority should be to address that on the theory that #1 up there would then take care of itself?
