What choice do you have? Refuse to pay your taxes? Not a good idea.
Start a revolt? Probably not a good idea either.
Sit back and enjoy the show I guess.

Because there really isn't much we can do besides vote all of them OUT of office. Until the election rolls around, we're stuck. Here's another great example of how they listen to the will of their constituents. Read it and weep!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On August 2, Democrats fixed a House vote in order to overturn a motion that would prevent undocumented immigrants from receiving federal housing funds. The House voted 215 to 213 to deny housing and employment to illegal immigrants on the annual agriculture spending bill. The votes were counted, but the Speaker closed the vote with his gavel. The Democrats then unilaterally and imperially overturned this result—defying 218 years of precedent. The Speaker reopened the vote to ensure that the motion was then defeated by a vote of 212 to 216, disenfranchising the American people and paving the way for illegal immigrants to receive federal housing and employment benefits.

Originally they were sent to Washington to to represent the people of their States. They eventually turned into our rulers. The indifference of the voters permitted this. The alternative would have been for the people to become more involved. The only real political activism we now see is by the minority groups trying to get a larger portion of the sliver of the pie that the poor get.
