What is a shame is that until the last 100 years or so the

majority of elected politicians were unpaid, or at the most reimbursed expenses, and we had a lot of laws passed that were very easy to read and understand, all made good sense, to the point, and were for the benefit for all the citizens. Now that we have highly paid politicians the majority of laws are over complex, very mixed up, usually benefit only a few (mostly companies), and rarely make sense.

Maybe we should go back to not paying the politicians!!
