This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Very much so. But I still imagine improvements...
For example, what if the judicial system had less politics in it? How about changing the Supreme Court so that nonpartisan Justices are at least slightly more powerful than partisans?
Funny historical joke time: Used to be that all the Justices were nonpartisan. RBG was the last one while Thomas is the leading example of a partisan Justice. Dare I say fake Justice?
Honest justice is blind, not partisan. It matters. A lot.
