Need some politicians with some spine, like Tom Laughlin "Billy Jack" who is not afraid of death

The powers that be would NEVER let an actual candidate get elected. You have two choices: Candidate A, who is bought and paid for and will do the will of the overlords, or, Candidate B, who is bought and paid for and will do the will of the overlords. If Paul is ever allowed to be a candidate, it would only be because they bought him. Sorry folks, IMHO that's our "democracy"

Just one thing that is not a democracy! What you are reffering to is called a plutocracy!
plu·toc·ra·cy
[ ploo tókrəssee ]
1.governance by wealthy: the rule of a society by its wealthiest people
2.society ruled by wealthy: a society that is ruled by its wealthiest members
3.wealthy ruling class: a wealthy social class that controls or greatly influences the government of a society
IMHO if we were living in a true representative democratic republic money would not be the defining factor in
choosing our representatives! Money would not be a factor in status! Money would not be a factor in how much freedom we have! money would only be used to purchase those necessaties which are needed and all luxuries
would be given purely through incentive type programs!
Goodluck in the faux republic!
