Today it's almost impossible for the common working class American to get his voice herd in Washington D.C. and all too easy for big business to influence laws for their own benefit and profit. When it comes to government all we average Americans can do is choose form a list of preselected politicians to vote for and send letters with fingers crossed hoping that they get read with the attention that they disserve. Big business on the other hand donates millions to the politicians they want elected, hire lobbyists, and ultimately have direct access to the people who run our county. This is why no party is better than the other because they both are corrupt and they both have done scandalous disingenuous things that are ultimately done because it meant better profit for big business.
Look no further than the current headlines in the news for the evidence of these goings-on: the bailouts. The whole world is in the deep end of economic depression but for some reason billions of dollars are given out to the richest people who already have money. Furthermore these people are the ones who are responsible for us being in trouble in the first place; they’ve robed the common people so much that no one has any more money to spend. So now that they’ve drained our wallets they head to the capitol to stick their thieving paws into our tax dollars. All this while we the common working class citizens sit back helpless unable to have any say in government…
I hope that you can see clearly why exactly it is that I want to get to D.C. even if it is just to yell at corrupt politicians and lobbyists.
