How government works.....It is what it is ......

I think our government works very well. It works for whom ever pays to control it. Only influence we have is our vote. Our vote is controlled by what we believe to be correct. What we believe to be correct is controlled by our media. The media is controlled by corporate interests. We vote because we are convinced by  corporate interests to do "what's right" or noble.  Who controls the "media"?

And as we’ve seen from our elected officials in Washington, they’re no different from most national politicians. They reward their friends (the people who help them get elected) and punish their enemies (the people who support their opposition in an election). It’s not personal, it’s just business. There’s a lot of money to be made controlling the levers of government, and thus it attracts the sort of people who are willing to use government to enrich themselves (or their friends). It’s only rarely that we have stories like that of William “Cold Cash” Jefferson, but none who watch government can realistically claim that slightly less egregious (and often completely legal) affairs don’t go on every day.
