First, we are supposed to be a republic, not a democracy. Not that it matters because our democracy ALLOWS the corruption. People know the corruption exists but feel powerless to stop it. Why? Who controls their intellectual development? Public (gov) schools. Would you teach people to think for themselves if meant your scam would be ended? Would you teach them to trust you WITHOUT QUESTION? It's called: "being a good citizen". I call it being a brainwashed sucker.
