While the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe has moved over the past 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall towards building multiparty political systems, we in America have been suckered into a one-party government, rule by the incumbents and only by the incumbents. In Tuesday’s congressional election the vast majority of incumbents were re-elected. Politicians have but one firm goal — re-election. And robbing Peter to buy the vote of Paul is the surest way to this goal. It is the shared doctrine of nominal Republicans and Democrats alike. Day by day, their meaningless stands on inflammatory and diversionary social issues such as gay marriage or marijuana legalization have merged until little distinction remains. They are now but factions in the one true political party in America — the incumbent party. Despite all posturing and pretense, their only real dispute concerns whose clients will get the loot . . . and whose the bill. Capitol Hill has become one vast congressional clip-joint, where members “service” their constituents the way a second-story man “services” a luxury condo. This lies at the root of every economic ill plaguing the country — Wall Street big bank bailouts, crony corporatism, Obamacare malfeasance, massive foreign and domestic debt, Pentagon plunder — the list could go on and on. Because of this thievery, your income is 60 percent of what it should be. The other 40 percent is forcibly taken by politicians and given to tax-consuming special interests. The parasitical profiteers return some of the ill-gotten gains to their benefactors in the form of campaign contributions, gifts or fees.
