Someone here on this forum who used to be involved in politics once said that they spend their entire times after getting elected raising funds for the next election campaign this fundraising is where they get most of their money you think it all goes to the campaign? Also some of them set up these phony charitable organizations (cough...clintons...cough) and most charities have parasites at the top that skim off a lot of money.
Well Stacey Abrams set up those voter registration organizations to pay her a quarter million a year for part time work. And then she used the data to support her run for governor.
Those speaking fees are part of the grift. Look at Bill Clinton’s list of paid speeches. Nobody was paying him because he’s some kind of motivational speaker and they actually want to hear him talk. They are paying him for access.
Our government’s access is for sale. I’d say ban all speaking fees, but they’d find another way to sell access.
They just know stuff the rest of us have no access to. Just look at those 2 senate candidates from Ga. Insider trading.
Martha Stewart goes to jail, it's a perk for politicians.
We all are fed up with DC, but keep electing the same ol same ol congressmen and senators. Go figure. We put all our hopes for reform on the POTUS who can't do jack without the house and senate.
The problem is we need to attack the fuel source that put these politicians in power.
Corporate Money. A lot of these corporations and banks actively encourage their higher level members to go into politics with the promise of a very lucrative return in the favor once done.

How are they working for us if the majority of the time is spent raising funds?
Where are they actually devoting time to this country rather than working to enrich themselves?
I highly doubt they are Charles Schwabb when it comes to investing. Thats proof we do need a "Great Reset" in this country. Though for a different reason.
Has there been a shift in your thinking? I thought you were a hardline democrat.
We should not question our elected leaders. They are out there everyday, saving lives through legislation and press conferences. We should trust always that any politician truly cares about you and your loved ones. I am not talking about Republicans though. They are all evil and only care about big companies like Dominion or Twitter
His phone. Call a member of your party to grease something through. The unstated implication is that you'll face strong primary opposition the next election.

Again when do ex presidents do all that much for primary elections.
Who votes for a self proclaimed billionaire for prez? Stupid is as stupid does. No rich guy is going to well represent interests of working stiff. But the working stiffs keep voting for them.
I think you stumbled into the wrong thread with that response.
Or maybe non-sequiturs are your specialty?
Anyway, to the OP's point, DC has become one of the most lucrative gigs one can obtain what with the salaries, bennies and outright influence one can peddle.
