Both Democrats and Republicans have got rich off the millions that flow
to those in power, leaving the poor sidelined

The US Congress stands at the pinnacle of American democracy, which the
nation is proud - on occasion - to export at the barrel of a gun.
Inside, 100 senators and 435 members of the House of Representatives
balance the interests of the nation and their constituents with their
consciences and party allegiances. Their boss is the American people.
Their election campaigns - one huge interview.
This is the basic civics lesson on which every American child is raised
and which few adults seriously question. Politicians themselves are
held in low esteem - a CNN/USA Today poll last week showed 49% of
Americans think their legislators are corrupt. This is generally
regarded as the product of individual venality rather than an
institutional virus. But if Americans still believe that after last
week, then they don't know Jack.
