 An even more significant finding from the survey was the fact that nearly two-thirds agreed that America is in decline. The same percentage agreed that nearly all politicians are corrupt and making money from their political power. We shouldn't be surprised at the answer. Just read one of the many books by Peter Schweitzer, like Profiles in Corruption, Clinton Cash, Red-Handed, Blood Money. He's been on my radio program for the last few decades, documenting corruption at every level of government.
