well i'd agree there are many corrupt pols within our political system beautressGee whiz, Sparky. I don't like disagreeing with such a wonderful person as you, however, free nations do imprison politicians who use power in a criminal manner such as extortion, lieing, cheating, stealing from the community purse, and stabbing the innocent in the back. About using their high office to make themselves wealthy with insider knowledge and subsequent trading, they get a little wrist slap that nobody knows about unless they're a tell-all detective.When an American politician who used to be excited about helping people's lives be successful with smart decisions decides to commercialize their standing, it's a sad day for the American people when money means more than their future success. The people's only hope of putting the fiscal depression we are currently experiencing is to get a wiser person in office on the next election day. And in recent years, even bright people can't always determine whose feeding bs into the media and who is a basically honest and caring person who wants the people to have success and prosperity.
But it's gone beyond those individuals , that are rightly criminals
We've evolved towards a corrupt system , were one party is painting the other domestic terrorists , and further convict them for merely having a political stance
Decades ago, many lamented the Patriot act as a tool that would allow this to occur
Our devolve into fascism has, sadly, gained legs since
