    Why are we even bothering with the “middleman”?

    As it is now, voters are paying these parasites many millions a year (remember in addition to their salaries they have the best healthcare and perks on Earth, I’d be stunned if they ever pay for a meal or any other expense) to pass legislation.

    … and corporations are providing congress with barrels full of cash to pass legislation (that was written by the corporations)

    Just make Amazon, Tesla, JP Morgan, Vanguard et al our “representatives”, and everybody saves an enormous fortune.

    We’re paying for a puppet show that provides nothing to anybody.
