Actually the way it was designed was for ALL average, educated Americans to be able to participate and contribute in their government. Not this minority cabal of wealthy globalist elites and career politicians who have essentially hijacked the people's government away from the people, making it impossible for average, educated Americans today to be able to participate in their own government unless they have countless millions to spend to run for election. That was never the way it was intended to be and what's been done is an obscenity.
