Think that's crazy? Did you know 2 to 3% of People are Sociopaths?
In a country our size that means there are an estimated 7 to 10 MILLION Sociopaths.
That is 7 to 10 MILLION people right here in the United States who are drawn to power and money, don't care who they destroy to obtain it, and feel no remorse for unethical behavior. And, studies have shown attorneys and politicians are the second and third most preferred positions sociopaths covet.
Now apply the above to the US Congress where they are all politicians and the majority are attorneys. The average net worth of a US Senator goes up $1.6 MILLION annually on a $174,000 salary and the average net worth of a member of the US House of Representatives goes up $1.1 MILLION annually on a $174,000 salary. The majority of Congress, House & Senate, retire as multi-millionaires. And, while in Congress, they hold one of 535 of the most POWERFUL positions in the world...
So ask yourself, how many sociopaths are drawn to Congress, knowing they will become rich and powerful and knowing once elected, statistics show they can stay as long as they want because they will be in a position that has a 95% re-election rate no matter how corrupt and unethical they are?
Think of the decisions and actions taken by Congress. Think of how often they throw the Average American under the bus. And, with the rule of "Seniority Equals Authority" in Congress, they sit there like spiders in their webs, becoming more powerful, more dangerous, and more untouchable with each passing year.
Based on their environment and actions, don't you wonder how many in the US Congress are Sociopaths?
THIS is why we need Term Limits for US Congress!
