When Once a Republic is Corrupted

"When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Is there any doubt in the United States of America that our Republic has, indeed, become corrupted? The number of millionaire elected officials who were not millionaires when they entered public office, is a pretty good indicator. Another indicator is the current blatant police state tactics by America’s federal law enforcement agencies. The administrative Deep State operatives far exceeding the legal authority authorized by Congress is one more indicator. The American federal government is no longer controlled by We the People; it is controlled by Democrat Marxist zealots under the control of dark money from all over the world.
