They're paid by the media cartel to improve that industry's profits and protect their ability to act as gatekeepers controlling what we're allowed to see or hear. Our rights, freedoms, and desires don't matter to lawmakers. Only corporations and a very small number of extremely wealthy individuals have representation in government. The average American citizen and honest grassroots campaigns have essentially zero impact on policy.
