Our government has slowly but surely turned in to a greedy corporation. That is not what the Constitution lays out, nor was it what our forefathers seemed to want to create.
For those of you that turn a deaf ear or a blind eye, here is how it REALLY works in a nut shell.
It takes $$$ and lots of it in most cases to get elected to any office of significance. The average American that takes the brunt of most laws related to the economy does not have that kind of money. Big business does have that kind of money and they love to spend it.
So, Joe Smoe gets elected by big companies. When he (or she) gets in office, it is common practice and very much expected that he (or she) will pay back the "favors".
Let's say it is a large construction company. Joe Smoe is going to any means to make sure that THAT company gets more business than the others. They will even create false jobs and make sure they win the bid (IE "Bridge to nowhere", and many other projects born out of the need to transfer our tax money to the companies that got them elected) Matters not if it is bid fixing, releasing confidential bid info, etc.
What happens to the real do gooders that want to get elected so that they can do right? They typically do not get elected because the big companies know that there is nothing in it for them.
At some point, I trust that we will get strong enough to change things such as Congress voting their own salaries and benefit packages. That is the proverbial fox guarding the hen house if there ever was one. How many of these white collar crooks would be in office if it was public service, term limits, modest pay, and no golden parachute package for the rest of their lives? Not many.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
