So legislation to benefit the 1% & corporations to the detriment of the people is a compromise?

No, this isn't the era of the Teapot Dome.

It is a hell of a lot worse than that.

Washington D.C. has turned the selling out of the American People into an art form.

Oh yeah, I totally believe that where we are at as a nation is a result of compromise.

If this is the result of compromise, I'd hate to see the result of capitulation.
