We are being played. Our handlers keep us busy fighting with each other while they enjoy the rewards of a broken political system. If you put good people in a broken system you get poor results. Good people in a good system produce good, often great, results. Our history confirms this.
Our “approval” rating of Congress is bumping along between 15 to 20 percent. A provocative study out of the Harvard Business School (“Why Competition in the Politics Industry is Failing America,” September 2017) evaluates the impact of several variables on the health of our country. Our political system represents the strongest drag on our ability to improve the quality of life for “we the people.”
So who is benefitting? The two political parties (a duopoly) and their partners: donors, lobbyists, special interests, pollsters, consultants, media, partisan think tanks …
We need representatives and voters who understand the brokenness of the current two-party system and who will help repair that system.
Please read the study, get involved and vote.
