The wealth gap between the ruled and the rulers in this sham republic has widened over the past 4-5 years. The median net worth of Congress increased by 5%, that of some members by as much as 14%, while the median net worth of the ruled has fallen almost 40%.

Hi Titus,
Good post.
Yes, congress is overpaid. We could find people to wreck the nation, for minimum wage.
your on to something, congress earn minimum wage!!!!
Politicians of any sort should not be allowed to set their own pay. It should be set by the voters.
yes, my friend, this is why i made this video, because it's not just the republicans screwing us over: https://vimeo.com/50875160
Anyone who is a "ruler" will always cut themselves a bigger slice of pie. Why is that so hard to grasp even the great progressives will do that, term limits is a real answer to the problem 1 term and your out thAt gives them much less time to become crooks.
A classless society is the answer. Marx, based on the experience of the Paris Commune, suggested abbreviated terms with quick recalls for all political officials including those of the judiciary.
Does that include democrats too?
Did you read anything about a partisan division? Only divisions really count in our society: the rulers and the ruled.
