Our elected officials gerrymander, sell votes to special interest groups to raise money to get reelected in perpetuity
They buy votes from the gullible public by making promises paid for by our taxes(and even then don't account for spending under GAP) that can't even be kept and that will bankrupt the country,
Our elected leaders don't have to live w/ the same retirement or health care or accounting rules that everyone else has to deal w/ they have voted themselves special privligages because they believe themselves to be "special"
I am so disgusted

Again, I agree. I was in high school when North Carolina was debating the going to a full time legislature. A huge mistake most states have made. The number of laws passed escalated when that happened, which to me begs the question; just what needs to be made against the law that wasn't already against the law in say 1900? Virtually nothing.
