Episode notes
Congress Serves Interests, Not Voters
- The U.S. Congress largely serves the interests of foreign nations and campaign funders rather than average voters.
- Genuine populist representatives who truly reflect their constituents' desires are rare in American democracy.
System Protects Itself First
- The U.S. political system protects its own interest above all else, not the people it supposedly represents.
- The deep state enforces a system focused on power and money, often bypassing constitutional limits.
Tariffs Violate Constitutional Taxes Power
- Only Congress can impose taxes and tariffs according to the Constitution, but Presidents sometimes enforce tariffs unilaterally.
- This violates constitutional authority, yet Congress rarely intervenes or enforces limits on presidential power.
