 When you have a vice president, and now presidential candidate who is LITERALLY a 'political whore' and nobody cares, you know 'the system is broken'. Or is it operating exactly as it's supposed to..?

But then there are things each of us feel compelled to lie to ourselves about. Those can be family things, personal things, or things like 'the money and political system are OK'... Once we break out of the money lie, it's easier to see and admit all the other things...
