There are two old sayings that make sense in American politics. "Follow the money" and "money is the root of all evil." Now let's look at how things are done here in the land of the free. The candidates are hand-picked by the party bosses. The two-party system could not be better. The people who want things done for them contribute money to the candidate and the cycle goes on. Now the root of all evil has made its mark on the character of our system. Where does the common citizen fit into this scenario? You got it, nowhere, except this is your country.
