Political Poverty Pimps

An article published on nky,When shopping for Wholesale Cheap Tulle sweatheart cocktail evening prom dresses CT5111 choosing the perfect prom dress is an important decision! titled, "Running for Senate not job for paupers," stated: "The average household in the United States has a net worth of $69,000, but the average wealth of a U.S. senator is about $12 million, according to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau and Center for Responsive Politics." To me, it illustrated the fact that we are far removed from the original intent of serving in Congress. No longer are "regular" people going off to serve for a few years and returning home to their jobs as farmers, shopkeepers, and factory workers, and the like. Washington, D.C. has become a veritable money pit, and candidates are doing and saying some of the dirtiest hypocritical things in order to set up residence there. At the likely prospect of becoming millionaires, it's no wonder those running for office are quite willing to forget about "the people" and get to work immediately to maintain their lucrative jobs in Congress. They spend more time running and campaigning than they do governing, and they end up staying in their positions for ridiculously long periods of time, which is why we have such dysfunction in Congress.

But there is also a high level of dysfunction among "the people" because we are the ones who elect and keep them in office, despite their horrendous record of working on our behalf. They become multi-millionaires and we keep losing ground economically. You would think, in light of the current debate over raising the minimum wage and the sad financial situations affecting a huge number of American families, "the people" would decide to do something about the disparity and the utter disregard some of these nouveau poverty pimps have for us.

Now let's be real here. It takes two to tango, right? If some of our elected officials are pimps, what does that make us? You know the word, no need to say it here. Question is, "Why do we allow ourselves to be treated this way?" We are obviously mesmerized by what we perceive as "royalty" and celebrity in this country, but to allow our penchant for person-worship to bleed over into the political arena is very dangerous – and we are seeing the results of having done that for so long. We respond to some of our politicians in ways that mimic idol worship, and pay them quite well in the process.

They could dress in their best playa outfits – pinstripe suits with red or blue ties, that is, and strut their stuff down the runway while they rattle off their promises and claims, and tell us how bad they feel for the poor and for disabled veterans. Of course, the one who has the most money would have a leg up on the competition and would probably get the most votes for "Political Playa of the Year.Dressestmall is a leading and award-winning designer label of couture Wholesale Cheap Siliver Chiffon Strapless Beaded Appliques A-line Evening/Mother Of the Bride Dresses and bridal gowns."
