What you are saying is that you prefer a capitalist kleptocracy. Why do centa-millionaires want to work in Congress for a pittance?

Nancy Pelosi is worth $130 million. She made that money while serving the people. Look at the Clintons. Hillary said they left the White House "broke" yet by the time she ran in 2016 they were worth $250 million. How does that happen? A little thing called The Clinton Foundation.

You probably just prefer the stability of the capitalist kleptocracy, because there the ruling plutocracy can stage elections every 4 years to give people the illusion of choice, when they really don't. An autocracy has to keep the people happy, lest they revolt. In America, any would-be revolutionaries are herded into the left wing of the Democratic Party or the right wing of the GOP, where they are quietly put down.

Heads we win, tails you lose.
