The Problem with the Two Party Political System

  There are many problems with our politicians, don't get me wrong but the thing that bothers me most is the way they act once they're elected.  Before the election politicians pretend like they're listening and gonna do something about the problems you have.  They make all kinds of promises and criticize the current system and boast how they are the solution and the key to change.

  Once they win the election and are in office like a caterpillar they morf into an entirely new creature.   They suddenly become the heir to the thrown and suddenly it's all about them instead of us.  After they sit on their thrown and don their crown all us little people no longer matter.  They rub elbows with the high and mighty royalty from other parishes and learn how royalty is supposed to act.

   Every election we choose who will get to pretend to be royalty and look down on us peasants.   We never elect someone who will actually represent us because we fall for the same old B.S. lines every time.  How can we hold the elected officials accountable?  What can we peasants do to the royalty when they have been bad?

  I propose we the people vote every year on the politicians salaries.  If they do good and the people agree, then we pay them well, and if we think they are crooks well they get nothing.  And if they do really bad and try to rob the tax payers or make some sweat deal with their buddies, they go to jail.  And if we find out about their crooked deals within 10 years of their leaving office, they go to jail. 

THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY, TO HOLD OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE!!!!!

For too long our politicians have been unaccountable and untouchable, it's time for real change.
