This is why we need a revolution to restore our republic. The rule of law has been altered to allow extra constitutional measures to be under taken by public officials who are supposed to act in the public's interest.
You want another revolution? What so that the same mistakes can be made over and over again? Those 'extra constitutional measures' were introduced by members in your employ, if they are not following your instructions or in fact if you are failing to give them your instructions then is it is your failing as much as theirs. All those measures can be undone by proper representation.
I presume of course that you are a tax payer...as a tax payer it is not sufficient to complain about the fact that you are taxed, you should be ensuring that that money is spent in accordance with your needs. The only way to ensure that that money is being used in that way is to get off your arse and check. I'm in the UK, so it is a slightly different fish kettle here (our revolutions have so far all failed, there is still hope though), but in the US taxation was agreed upon the basis of 'No taxation without representation'. Think about that. Are you being represented? Do you even know who your representative is? The means for change are already in place, that others know how to use it better than you do is the problem. Only vigilance and making sure that you are a right-royal-pain in your representatives arse will get wheels moving, slowly, but moving all the same. Rome as they say, was not built in a day.
