these people can raise millions and millions for themselves when trying to get elected. Yet after they are elected they don't raise a dime for the people they claim to "represent".
It's called Pork. Pork to buy votes is bankrupting the whole country.

I had no idea how great the divide was between the left and right.

One issue I run into is if I criticize a Republican I'm accused of being a Democrat and of course if I criticize a Democrat I'm ruled a Republican.
