>"Send them to prison"

Dream of my life to see politicians to be personally responsible for fuckups they cause to people.

At today's rate in the US, executive immunity is going to extend to all elected or appointed officials in perpetuity.

And just behind that is politicians getting beat down in the streets when people realize the rule of law means nothing anyways and they have no reason to play along.

		Rule of law will always apply to the commoners. Congress critters can speed on the highways and ignore the Do Not Call registry, but the rest of us still have to obey the laws.

Politicians are just foot soldiers/weeds in this game. Pluck one corrupt politician. 2 more grow in its place.

I would like the billionaires to be jailed, their political pawns in government removed from office, Citizens United to be nullified, FEC regulations re-worked from ground up, and codified.

Now, for a certain class, theft and rape are hardly a risk.
