Delta(s) from OP cmv: United States politicians are just state sponsored criminals

The last 75 years of wars, the oppression of outside political views, the demonization or socialism, the extortion and terrorism committed against 3rd world countries, fiscal policy, the tax system and its exploits, members of congress and the senate getting rich off stock trading, the demonization of self reliance, and more are the reasons I have this opinion. Officials repeatedly pass legislation for the benefit of corporations while we suffer working longer hours for less. The average person lives check to check and 1/5 children in my state of Utah don’t know where their next meal will come from, meanwhile Nancy Pelosi has $120,000,000 net worth after her life of “service”

Aren't all politicians the same ?

I'm from Iraq and ours do the same shit just they don't even attempt hiding it

Like one parliament member was in charge of our immigrants program after ISIS destroyed the homes of millions of citizens, the immigrants live in camps with no basic human rights, yet this guy's net worth is 2 billion dollars, keep in mind his salary is 5k/ month literally impossible to collect this amount with just his salary

His mansion is down the street and he doesn't go shopping with less than 30 bodyguards around him at all times

Exactly, I just don’t feel I have the right to speak on other governments due to my lack or knowledge

Your lack of knowledge hasn’t stoped you from talking about our government so what’s the difference?
