Many in the United States government are corrupt.

They can not get elected if our elections are honest and fair.

Many corporations and lobbyists need these corrupt politicians.

Wall Street needs these corrupt politicians.

The justice system needs these corrupt politicians.

The police need these corrupt politicians.

The Pentagon needs these corrupt politicians.

It is hard to distinguish fact from fiction when they have been

caught in so many lies and culprits were never held accountable.

It is soul crushing to study the history of this country.

I have cried many times searching for and finding the truth.
