Congressmen are mostly rich people rented by richer ones, but a small amount of plebian influence is surely better than none at all if you're into that whole "democracy" thing.

- BuckRogers 11y agoI've always wondered why more people aren't demanding direct democracy. I know why the founders of the US didn't go for it, but as a working class American I fail to see why I don't want direct democracy. It would slow the pace of government doing stuff down and if someone got bribed, it would be me. And even if we did wrong, at least we'd truly be responsible. And screwing things up is kind of our birthright.
