Experimental aircraft stored in  hangers all over

the states and area 51.There is always a need

for the items.(someday)This is just a sample

of good money spent by rotten people.

Answer 2

.because you need more than 1 person to do so and alto odf people believed the government is doing something good to our people. even tho is not even closes.

Answer 3

Apathy is big reason. The other reasons are: What difference does it make when one person wants to change something and everyone else is corrupt? They are a bunch of "good old boys" and stick up for each other and lastly it has been that way for years and years.

Answer 4

There's nothing you can do, We the People don't control nothing.

Answer 5

Most people don't pay attention to politics or current events. Most people can't even tell you who thier senators are. Most people are happy with just keeping thier heads in the sand. If things keep going the way they are maybe people will wake up. Whether you lean right or left most likely you are not too happy with the course this country is taking.

Answer 6

Every preceding answer is correct.  They reveal a shameful truth - that we Americans have about as much power to non violently change those who have political power as any people in the world, yet we don't use that power, seemingly because it is too much trouble or so not cool- voting, participating in politics-reading and listening to news report in order to make informed judgments.  I don't mean to bash you for posting the question, though.  It is a hugely important question, particularly for younger segment of our society that may not have been encouraged to become participants in our American political life before this year.  For instance, I am already on social security and a huge number of adults will become entitled to social security during the next 5 years.  Those costs will be on the shoulders of those younger than us.  We need to have a conversation in America about what it will take to make that burden on yournger Americans not so heavy as to tempt them to toss this most important element of our American system for "forming a more perfect union" aside.

Answer 7

Excellent question!!  

Because we have become complacent and used to Bush's dirty tricks.

John Edwards wants to fight the corrupt corporations/government that we are putting up with.

I hope he wins!

Answer 8

we vote them out.

Answer 9

WE THE PEOPLE are going to vote the bums out. It's a shame it ever got this far. I don't care which side Dems or Reps this tow the party line c**p it going to end. I think it's best to just say THE PARTY IS OVER.  Remember everyone WE THE PEOPLE must vote to get OUR COUNTRY BACK.

Answer 10

We try to vote them out but its all rigged. The candidates that get "covered" by the media are all rubber stamped by lobbyists and PACs.
