I have figured out when it all took a turn.
   

 
When whatever genius decided we needed to make running for office cost money. Who was the idiot who came up with this concept and why did the rest of us go a long with it!?

1. Oh the history is long
   
so let's spare you the 19th century (and Jackson)...

In the modern period start with a court decision back in the late 19th century involving trains.

2. Well, whatever it was, it was moronic and ridiculous.
   
Want turn this country around? Make it FREE! And don't pay them more than the average salary of the poorest state in the union.

3. I can understand the pay for the President
   
since that is the last job that person will ever have... with a few exceptions.

After that, agreed, the pay for a congress critter should drop a tad... and the same goes for the Senate.

What we need to do is start fighting Citizens United, that is the FIRST STEP... given the results in Mexico with Term Limits (extreme) I am torn on the issue... as well as California... but a 20 year term limit, combined, aka the equivalent of a military career should be a good compromise. It would keep some people in their 90s from still being there.

Nadin, the joke that keeps on giving.

Please inform us, oh great One.

I'd like to know where trains come into the picture.

I's like to know what elections anyplace or at anytime have ever been run for free outside of high school.

Well, even then you need to buy posterboard and markers and junk.  This notion that everything should be free is infantile; the DUmmies have never graduated from diapers.  The last time anything was of no cost to you, was when you were a baby.

Even in high school, those "Vote for Pedro" t-shirts aren't free.
