   Sigh! And, pray tell, what do *you* think the taxpayers are paying 535 lawmakers a minimum wage of $174k to do?

   If they don't pass laws that benefit the people, it's your own bloody fault. That's what happens when you vote for people of reality show fame rather than trying to find out what they really can do for *you*.

   Your constitution is crystal clear. Well, at least to me, albeit maybe not to ignorant MAGA cult members. To help you, here's the preamble with two spelling errors corrected, three redundant words removed and the last clause moved up front for better grammar.

   I also printed it in a way so you can see exactly what kind of laws "we the people" must be expecting:


"We, the People of the United States, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America to form a perfect Union,
  establish Justice,
  ensure domestic Tranquillity,
  provide for the common Defence,
  promote the general Welfare
  and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
  and our Posterity."

Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.
