Because our “representatives” don’t represent us at all. They’re a bunch of millionaires who exempt themselves from the laws they make, determine their own salaries, vote against the wishes of their constituents, and accept huge amounts of cash from corporations to give them preferential treatment.

None of this is how we live. The fact that there is an “us” and a “them” is the problem. Our government is supposed to be comprised of citizens. Citizens that live in the places they represent and know the people that live there. That have actual skin in the game.

Until America works the way it was designed again, we will never be free. We are not currently free, and it doesn’t look like we will be anytime soon. Those in power are so deeply entrenched, you can’t just sit and have a conversation and have things work out. The insanity has gone on too long, because we sat back and let it happen, because we got comfortable, and lazy.
