There is no democracy!
Government is not corrupt but extremely ignorant as your post proves.
Please prove me wrong about this. Name one person who is a member of the Government?
It doesn't make a difference which parity is in control because we are a Democratic Republic. To be more specific we are a Republic and have nothing to do with the pig pen's of Democracy.
Trying not to be an ass too you. Please do the same for me.
I'll be cool, as always...
The issue of the U.S. being a Democratic Republic is so small as to be a mere technicality... most people don't know the difference... especially since we the people are propagandized to believe that our vote counts towards the direction the Country is going to go...
But, in my opinion, our Government is totally corrupt... Would be that hard to say the Clintons are not corrupt? In fact any of our elected leaders that put their funder's interests in front of their constituent's concerns, are corrupt, in my opinion. Would it be hard to say that many Corporations benefited of the seventeen year old Middle Eastern War?
Aren't Obama Care and George Bush's prescription drug plans both good examples of putting corporate interests first? Didn't both the Insurance companies and Big Pharma benefit more off those plans, than the American People?
I believe corruption is a bigger problem in our Government, than which party is in control. Our Representatives are bought and paid for... through and through... why else pay millions to campaign for jobs that pay a couple hundred thousand a year? Because they like serving the people? Why should we put people into office that would make that deal, and then totally under preform?
I have to go to bed, so I'll have to carry on this conversation later... and, like you I like respectful discussions... so, have a good night... and we'll talk later...
You avoided answering my question.
"Name one person who is a member of the Government?"
You can't name a person who is a member of Government because you don't know.
What is wrong with admitting this if it is true?
I never intended to not answer your question,but your question is so open ended as to not even be clear that it relates to the article I wrote... see below...
Okay, I'll name one person who is a member of Government -- Mitch McConnell.
Is that what you wanted? Or, did you want me to name one corrupt member of Government?
I can do that and much, much more. How about a "List of United States federal officials convicted of corruption offenses"
Or, how about in Italy? Controversies surrounding Silvio Berlusconi
Or, a List of political scandals in the United Kingdom
Or.., or.., or.., I can do this all day if you want? (but, I probably won't... you do know how to use Google... right?)
Since were playing the Logical Fallacy game how about this, prove to me there isn't a corrupt politician in Government...
So who is the Government here in America?
Americans and they represent their power as Grand Jurist and Petite Jurist by deciding the facts of the case and the law of the case. That is right We The People are the forth arm of power and the government.
Thomas Jefferson said: "I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.

The thing is your a good writer? You could be even better?
So, that's it? You just wanted to play a game of semantics?
How ever you classify our elected officials, you know what I was communicating, but chose to ignore it so you could attempt to put me in my place... I chose to ignore your game...
And, you are the one chose to bring the attitude from your very first post... I just chose to answer in kind... why should I be nice when you're not?
Oh, BTW... since you got to ask your question, and I answered it...
Maybe you can do the courtesy of responding to my question?
"... prove to me there isn't a corrupt politician in Government..."
'but chose to ignore it so you could attempt to put me in my place..."
You put you self in what ever you decide is your place.
No obviously I didn't choose to ignore you and no it has nothing to do with semantics.
Your whole comment is a red herring designed to obscure the facts I posted in comments.
Since you choose to devalue the facts into semantics there is no point. I wont bother you again.
If you would like I will remove my comments, just let me know?
