OPINION:
Basically, nothing ever changes in American government. Americans are doomed by a legislative system that focuses on rewarding legislators and their special interests. Point being, our legislative officials become millionaires in office.
We need to change it, but the big question is, how do we even start? Do we mandate term limits, vote in new blood, stop special-interest contributions and lobbying?
It’s not easy when the very people who could change the system are the same ones who benefit from things staying the way they are.
