"We need a rising upswell revolt of middle America. We need a complete gutting of our campaign finance laws and a cleansing of Congress and the Senate."

Will NEVER happen.

Those in charge have made sure of it.
The top 5-10% have ALWAYS controlled every society in all of history...and they always will.
It is sadly the nature of humans.

Even on the rare occasion you get a leader that seems "pure of heart and motive", it is an illusion.
Naively assuming they were "good" in the first place, they will either be corrupted by force, or desire, within minutes of gaining any real control.
It's what humans do.

The very nature of those that strive for control makes them the least qualified....and the very nature of those best suited to be in charge makes them never seek the position.

It is a downward spiral.
...and Earth will be glad when we are gone.

Merry Christmas!
CB.
