If you want to FIX WASHINGTON and CUT CORRUPTION

If you want to FIX WASHINGTON and CUT CORRUPTION
(now that Corporations can buy the next Congress),

Then "we the people" should call, write and DEMAND Congress PASS A BILL --THIS YEAR__PROHIBITING CONGRESSIONAL REPS FROM BECOMING LOBBYISTS...

Why? Hear the words of convicted felon, Jack Abramoff...

(Excerpt from "Agenda for American Greatness") ..."with the revolving door in Washington between Congress and lobbyists, our system is corrupted even more.

That means the other 80% of us have to fight over 16% of the remaining wealth.
And on the subject of making our economy work and the true nature of our national debt:
"A total of 
$6.1 trillion in debt was acquired during George W. Bush's eight years in office, 
$1.9 trillion in Ronald Reagan's,
 $1.5 trillion in George H.W. Bush's four years, 
$1.4 trillion in Clinton's eight years and 
$2.4 trillion during the first three years Obama's administration, much of it spent trying to pull us out of recession, just as FDR did ...
