The Political Class (Mildly political)

We are ruled in this country by the Political Class. Yes we vote for our Representatives but once in office they are not receptive to our wishes. I have called my Congressman several times and asked why I can't pay for my own health insurance instead of being on Medicare...No answer...
The Political Class has found a way to keep their jobs by laying out Congressional districts in such a way that puts all of their supporters in the same district so that they cannot be voted out of power. This is called Gerrymandering which has supposedly declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In North Carolina, the Gerrymandering is so bad that the State Court has declared that voting for Congress will not count in the primaries (today) or in the Fall.

Why do WE THE PEOPLE tolerate the Political Class? That is a good question but no one ever gives me a good answer.

So many things to think about.

Why would a dentist blog about this? Do you really only want to talk about teeth????
