The American Anti-Corruption Act

I find it humorous to see this video start by claiming the government is "completely broken" and the fix is for the government to pass more laws. Ok, I watched it to the end and saw the approach, but clearly this has been greatly simplified and glorified so people can "get it".

The claim of being broken is based on the fact that elected officials need campaign money to stay in office. That is only true if the voters allow their votes to be bought. I don't mean the literal sense, I mean in the sense of being swayed by campaign ads which cost big money to run.

If people would dig a bit to find their own information along with not being swayed by the sort of applesauce politicians spew on the campaign trail, the money would no longer be the huge factor it is now.

Fix the problem at its source.

It's broken because on average Americans have pathologically low true self-esteem and confidence. Americans are mostly big fronters.

Government plays the role of a useful scapegoat to blame problems on. Nobody really wants a smaller, less corrupt government at the end of the day, because if government were a tight, efficiently-organized system run by people much smarter than the average bear, who would they have to mock to feel better about themselves?

Also most Americans would never be able to accept that a smartly-organized government of smart people actually had their best interests at heart. Particularly in a diverse country. Bunch of smarmy assholes, don't even look like me, they're probably up to something. Probably planning communism.

A bloated, stupid government that plays the above role, or anarchy, are probably the only acceptable options.

"It's okay man cuz I like the abuse"

Sorry, I forgot national socialist all-white apartheid state. That's acceptable option #3

It goes much deeper than campaign finance, the bulk of the corruption goes to influencing legislation and voting on that legislation, eg. the PPACA wa s written by a task force headed up former Wellpoint VP Elizabeth Fowler, w ho promptly quit government and went back to industry when the job was done . Another example is the Pruitt imbecile from Oklahoma, now heading up the EPA, every bit of his legal pleas against enforcement of EPA regulation was written by energy industry people. The lobbyists supply the legislation, i n part or in full, in all matters of concern to special interest. The legis lators themselves have neither the time nor expertise to even begin to writ e proposed legislation.

Another eye-opener:

Corruption is Legal in America

First turn your shop into a Faraday cage. Then filter each incoming/outgoing wire heavily. Oh, and keep the door closed. That should improve things. (lots of smileys)

No eyeopening. You didn't know any of this?

Oh shit, is Hillary going to delete my emails, too?!

It's one thing to suspect it, and quite another to have hard data from a reputable scientific study.

Which fact and study are you talking about?
