We no longer have a Republic or representation in DC (with a few notable exceptions like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.) Our "rulers" are 535 public servants who have set themselves up as royalty. They pass laws for us serfs that they do not have to follow, vote themselves raises and increase their perks and staff, and have benefits and retirement that the working people cannot ever hope to attain. Add the SC that legislates, and POTUS who decrees, and we have the mess we are in today.
