Why Congress has a 7% Approval Rating – Corruption

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

We are the enemy. When will people wake up and realize they do not represent us? They view us as the enemy never to be trusted – i.e., 702 they just authorized, and the 80,000 IRS agents are auditing not the rich but people under $200,000 because they do not have lawyers and accountants.

Lincoln lie fool the people

It’s all so tiresome.

Both Democrats And Republicans are merely Board members for the US CORPORATION and NOTHING you do or say could change that.
Americans have become a liability to this CORPORATION and the decision has ben made to REPLACE YOU with a new group of “Foreigners” so the CORPORATION can start all over with people who are ignorant of this Corporations theft by taxation & Legislation scheme so as to never lose their power to steal from “Their People”.

And just like all other corporations, there is a small number of people who maintain financial control and dictate the direction of the corporate board – Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard own almost 25% of every corporation in the S&P 500

Actually their customers own these things but they get to vote the proxies for the shares because most of the customers are “too busy” to vote their own proxies. Therefore these companies are the biggest voting block for all of these companies and only have this leverage by default. I vote my own and vote against every RINO or Democrat Politician board member being proposed and against every environmental study, racial equity study etc. People need to know who is voting their company/union/gov pension plans and what they are voting for in their names.

CONgress has a 7% approval rating yet the re-election of a good majority continously occurs… either voters are idiots, voting is rigged or both. I believe both and that is the ultimate problem.

The country is circling the toilet bowl on the way down and we failed as a society and we failed as a people to hold fuckers accountable at every failure point in the cascade of incompetence, treason, grift and outright greed of government parasites.

Best keep an eye on the changing battlefield conditions.

ZFG, out.

P.S. you cannot spell congress without con.

There are many reasons for this, ZFG. First among them are the gerrymandered districts where one political party has a large majority of the registered voters. This has the effect of reducing the election to the primary only, as the opposing party has ZERO chance of winning.
Second is the impression that “My CONgresscritter is doing a good job for the district and representing our values”. This is mainly due to the pork that is sent back to the district and the short memory of the constituents. Very rarely is a controversial issue taken up by CONgress during the primary or general election season.

The biggest reason CONgress has such a high reelection rate is purely ignorant voters.

If Con is the opposite of Pro, then CONgress is the opposite of PROgress.

Wow 7% that seems kind of high to me. Congress is a uniparty. Schumer knows this. He is bragging for the optics. He wants to keep the illusion of two parties so that it seems as if US citizens have a say/choice in how they are governed. We are being played as usual.

Before the complete collapse of the current, corrupt system that the majority of people have bought into, maybe we should start planning what kind of system we want to build after this coming collapse so we don’t repeat the failures of the last two hundred years where a bought and payed for “Representative” government makes ALL the decisions for the people when We The People are supposed to be the ones in control.

If we had 100,000 congressmen, 50,000 senators, and 100 presidents, and all of them had full veto authority, we wouldn’t have this issue.

“””Why Congress has a 7% Approval Rating””””
Because 7% of the people are mentally unrecoverable.

People are still fooled by the lie that there are two parties, and why not?
Most of those same people think Lincoln was a great patriot, instead of the greatest tyrant in American history.

Do 7% of those polled actually approve of Congress?

It always has low rating so it NEVER stops them. Only applying law then hanging or jailing them works but you won’t do it either because you are LAWLESS like them.

How many have been breaking 8usc-1324 and have been doing so for decades? Up to ten years in prison for that yet the ba5tards still allow illegal aliens to enter the country.

I had a dream that a million people marched on Washington DC, and built gallows in front of the Capitol Building. All the Congress ran for their lives…. then I woke up, and I was very depressed it was a dream…..
