Corruption- the American way.
They're all corrupt little lying, dishonest, immoral, perverted, low IQ, agenda driven, scum. What's the deal, the government's sole purpose is to serve the people, not run rampant, making laws they don't have the power to make. Undermining the constitution of the United States and disregarding the rights guaranteed us by that constitution is not what a "good" government does. In fact it's the complete opposite of their primary function, and by letting the government grow unchecked for so long, we have an out of control government, one that's lost the direction and purpose it was designed for. It's time to rethink the current situation we have, why are there so many people in jail's, is it because we are just more "criminally oriented", or because the government makes it so easy to "break the law", by making stupid laws, and refusing to use common sense when making laws in the first place.
And, when "laws" do more harm than good, yet the government pursues these crimes against the people, it's time for a new government. Period.
