Most of the people running for President, on both sides of the aisle, are now, or have been, members of one of the most freely-functioning criminal organizations in the world, i.e., the United States Congress.
Under the guise of looking out for us, they have been robbing us blind for decades now. They have taken away our money at gunpoint or under threat of fine and/or imprisonment.
Regarding Social Security, they have taken it away with the promise of "investing" it for us when, in fact, they have spent it on themselves, or their pet projects. If my IRA was handled the way Congress handles Social Security, the very same people who are stealing my money would be racing to the cameras to announce what they were going to do to stop such criminal behavior. There would be hearings and pontifications up the wazoo. Meanwhile, they have exempted themselves from the system they are milking dry. Our money is long gone, while theirs is safe and sound. Fix it? You can't be serious!
What about the border fence? Sorry, can't be bothered with that right now. Don't want illegal immigration? Then get help with your bigotry because illegal immigration is here to stay. Gonna make them all legal and then let more in. Get over it!
They just gave themselves a raise. Shouldn't that privilege belong to We the People? Government of the people, by the people, for the people. Where? I can't see it.
Is there anything more revolting than watching one of these overpaid, underwhelming yahoos on the campaign trail take to the stage and announce what they're going to do for us, all the while shedding a tear or two just for effect.
They love this country, it has given them so many opportunities. Then why are they in the process of destroying it? They're not in it for us. They're in it for them. They haven't cared a whit about us while they were/are in Congress.
Change? My Aunt Fannie. It's going to be business as usual, whoever gets in. Picking our pockets and telling us to love it.
