13. Legal way to stop it? We are paying them to do this in our name. All we have

to do is elect people who will stop paying them. That's about as legal as it gets in this country.

None of them, none, are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, or for their country, or even just to promote evil. If it wasn't for our money, they would go home. We asked them to do this, even set up bidding and select the ones who buy us the most pizza and pay for the most golf.

Kind of like most politicians.
