I just can't shake that feeling that everybody from the city all the way to the feds are stealing and kicking back and wasting.
I'd personally like to see a "one and done" constitutional amendment that would forbid everybody from dog catcher to president from running for more than one term. Maybe that would help stop all the corruption AND as a bonus a governor or mayor or president would actually do what they think is RIGHT instead of doing what they think is good politically.

I heard an good idea, can't remember from who...... one year on, one year off... campaign while you're off and let things settle down that the person did.
It's so much greed today that now it feels like my tax dollars don't help the Country, me, you, the poor, or anyone or anything - it goes from my pocket straight into someone with a hell of a lot more money... crap is falling apart around us, and my local taxes go up, and shit is still falling apart - something is very wrong.
