People are the problem not government. People reelect their own congressmen/women 95/7% of the time. There is NO way to run a democracy properly if the people on the one hand complain about their congress and then keep voting them in? Can you see how crazy that is. No system can help people who are that foolish. The people refuse to change their ways.
