The US Congress today is the biggest example of a broken down political system, where every congress person spends 4 hours a day beging corporations to fund their elections. It is guaranteed the pressure will be relentless for them to represent the interests of those campaign contributors and not the people that elected them. This is nothing new, a hundred years ago exactly in 1913 Congress voted-in the current private central bank when most of them were away for Christmas, which is the cause for the whole world's debt crisis. The IRS was set up as part of the scam to make sure the salaried workers paid for the fleecing.
