This comment (cited below) is a perfect example of how the educational establishment in this country has dumbed-down our population.

First of all, define "personal politics." What is this "personal politics?"

Second, the US is not a democracy, it is a REPUBLIC! Democracy is majority rule. And majority rule does not necessarily imply "reigning in corruption." More often than not, it means the exact opposite. Especially if your population is a bunch of doofuses who are easily manipulated by the boob tube and and an educational establishment controlled by those who run "predatory and corrupt" companies.
