This has become a government without representation. We the People have become little more to the power elite, than hot air, and these people will just crank up the "air conditioner" all at our expense.

We are the donkey with a carrot dangeling from a stick, in front.

GRRRR!!!

It is time for action, and letting the PTB sing the jail house blues.
