It's not Snowden that is inflicting damage to America, it is those who have corrupted the government with their prodigious wealth.
Congress is 51% lawyers despite the fact that less than 1% of Americans are. Congress is ~40% millionaires (or more) despite the fact that less than 4% of Americans.
Vote out the rich and their lawyers lapdogs and we will have our country back peacefully.
- r00fus 13y agoPutin really means "don't harm US-Russia relations". Pretty basic, Russia isn't ready to fight the US for Snowden, but will respect his travel rights.
- tg3 13y agoI think it's a good idea to have a larger portion of lawyers as legislators than the general population - these are the people that are writing laws. Yes, money has too much influence in politics, but the way to fix that is with real campaign finance reform, getting rid of the corporate "free speech" unlimited campaign contributions, and adding more transparency to the process, not some vague notion of "voting out the rich".
