Our Political System Sucks.. And here's why. 1 Man's Opinion.

I'm not a political pundit and I'm certainly no constitutional scholar, but here's what I think is the biggest flaw of our founding fathers- and their lack of foresight into what this country would become. They said (paraphrasing) that our government should be made up of representatives of the citizens (no taxation without representation and all). But, here's the thing. As a whole we're a society of selfish, greedy idiots. We don't need representatives of the common person. We need people better than the average. People who aren't running for political office, for ego, or money or power. People who know the difference between right and wrong and aren't interested in pandering to the lowest common denominator (lobbyists are tops of the crap pile). We need people who actually want to make the United States and the world a better place. Government should not be a place to appease the masses, but to better them.
