How about this: Defund the the fuckin lawmakers! 85% of people are generally happy with the state of their lives. So why in the hell are we electing jackasses that wanna overturn every law, scorched earth, arachy, rabble rabble!?! Just leave shit alone dickheads, its fine as it. We should be electing lawmakers running platforms of milquetoast apathy, wtf...

People riding in the back of trucks is illegal in most places, too.

Good luck trying to stop it. Dog wants, dog receives.

I've seen too many dogs jump out of a moving cars window to ever let my dog do this.

The reason why we pay them so much is that is harder to bribe them who is easier to bribe an avrage Joe or a millionaire. With that you filter out the smaller group that would want to bribe their poletician and only leave massive lobbys.

The millionaire is easier to bribe. Every. Fucking. Time.

Study after study has proven that the poorest among us are the most likely to pass up personal reward to help those around them. And the richest among us, are the most likely to choose personal rewards at the expense of others.

And let's not even get into the problem that comes with limiting our pool of political candidates to millionaires. It's almost as if you end up with a system that completely favors millionaires.

We all fall into the trap from time to time where we think a succcessfull businessman would make a good politician. They're good with money, makes sense right? Wrong. You need a stronger sense of duty, responsibility to the public and ethics. Thats not the focus of a for-profit company, by its nature. Thats why military officers actually make good politicians. And we've gotten away from that for some reason. And don't discount career politicians. They're still sxuzzy, but they have better instincts about maintaining govt service. It seems like all the schmucks that are trying to transition into govt from private industry feel like they need t make 'big waves' and fuck around with laws and upend everything to make up for their lack of experience and accomplishments.

A ceo also needs to have the same incorruptible nature as what prevents a rival company from paying a ceo millions of dollars to steer their company into the ground so that the rival company looses competition. The only reason why ceos do not accept bribes is because they are payed so darn well.
