4. The big money power brokers have given their marching orders

In case you haven't noticed, they let us "protest" and fight just long enough to make it seem like we are making a difference. Once it starts hitting their bottom line (airlines and all associated travel biz) they call in the orders. Doesn't really matter which side, GOP or Democrat, they have paid for just enough representation to ensure the vote goes their way.

Not sure how to fix this with the amount of money flowing through campaigns. We need election donation reform in a big way, but, LOL if that will ever happen.
