you have some have a sliver or minority of people that has so much power to overrule majority rule, stop long years of work on the ERA in Virginia for example (the republican just got elected there, and WHAM, pulled Virginia out of ratifying the Amendment, it doesn't seem fair to me).
The fear is still there, that they'll do worse too, to so many Americans. I fear that Social Security will be yanked away even though we paid for it (they already have threatened this, taken funds from our Social Security funds to pay off republican deficits (nice, eh?). How can they get away w/ hurting so many of us in so many different ways? It really doesn't sound fair.
And they say our elections aren't supposed to be about money. Well, they're wrong. Somehow, the entire system has been rigged, and control of the Senate has been grabbed by the expenditure of tons of money by wealthy donors/republicans. Mostly in states w/ a minimum of population, thus the money paid out isn't so bad to these republican donors.
It seems unfair to me that when they were in power, republicans had the power, and when they aren't (like now), they still have the power. Something doesn't sound right, or the kettle isn't set on the stove right.
