As of 2019 data, approximately 171 members of the House and 49 Senators identified as professional politicians.
The framers of the Constitition never intended for our representatives to be professional politicians. They dont understand us because they haven’t lived our experiences, and can’t relate to our needs.
The problem is, that those who do get it, and can relate to, and solve real world problems, cant afford to run. Our decisions are made by an aristocracy who can afford to elect mouthpieces. Its no secret, but explains why decisions are made in opposition to the best interest of our country and everyday Americans, who are forced to fund self destructive programs and policies.
If you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Independent, and believe that your taxes entitle you to any sort of representation; you just don’t want to see the truth. All of the bloodshed in the name of our republic has been for nothing if we dont figure out how to get the money out of politics, and elect a true representative class of politicians. Our form of government, as created and backed by our Constitution, is still the greatest government structure in the history of the world. Without true representation, we are doomed to be controlled by the aristocracy (fancy name for shadow government). You have no idea how great our rights, and our country are, flaws and all.
John Fetterman is doing it right, and Im still a life-long compassionate conservative. We have to govern ourselves, be responsible, abide by the rule of law, and be compassionate. Always do the right thing!
I hope some take the time to read this. We have to have a national conversation, as Amercans. Im not ranting, I care. Our generations broke it, we have to fix it.
How scary is it that none of us have any idea who’s really running our country. That may be our biggest problem.
