Corrupt politicians usurp power

Public servants wield a great deal of power. They yield it legitimately only in the interest of the people whose power it is. The power is entrusted to them for no other purpose. Any other use is illegitimate; it is an abuse of power.

Our power is certainly not entrusted to them in order that they can self-except themselves from accountability for their misconduct.

Rules apply to everyone; or they apply to no one.

Who exactly is going to hold themselves accountable to a higher standard than the example that is set for them?

Once that power has been usurped, it will not be given back. Or, it would have been given back already.

The power must be taken back; even against their will; most certainly against their will.

They have repeatedly refused to be held honestly accountable to any meaningful standard of conduct.

They have repeatedly refused to return to the people, the control over the power which is fundamentally theirs.

What are you going to do about it?
