As I have said before, voters need to look at their politicians and start voting out those who are working the corrupt system to enrich themselves. The past decade and more, have shown us that these people are looting the country, and selling us all down the river, and it does not matter which political party is in control.

This is why we need Public Financing . The Dem/GOP has been bought decades ago, its only going to get far worse due to : Citizens vs FEC,
until our country collapses. Roman Empire fell due to multiple reasons, among them graft and corruption:

Reason why the Roman Empire fell

"Reason why the Roman Empire fell - Multiple Causes over 500 years
The Roman Empire lasted from 27 BC - 476 AD, a period exceeding 500 years. The Decline of the Roman Empire was due to many reasons but the major causes of the decline are detailed in the following sections. There was no specific order the reason why the Roman Empire fell were due to different causes occurring over a period of hundreds of years. Reason why the Roman Empire fell? Multiple Causes over 500 years. Reason why the Roman Empire fell - Antagonism between the Senate and the Emperor
The Roman Emperor had the legal power to rule Rome’s religious, civil and military affairs with the Senate acting as an advisory body. The emperor had power over life and death. As in the old sayings "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" and ""Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it". The powerful, wealthy Roman Emperors inevitably became corrupt and many lived a debauched and immoral lifestyle. The Roman Empire saw divisions between the Senate and the Emperors. Either the Senate didn't like the Emperor or the Emperors was at odds with the Senate...."
