{"product_id":"how-politics-fails-us-kip-koehler-9781500223793","title":"How Politics Fails Us: What We Should Know About Our System Of Government","description":"I suppose politics has always been a dirty game, played by those with power to gain and little of substance to offer their constituents. It's not that they don't have the skill set to provide positive guidance and improvement for the country. What is more likely is that they lack the incentive to change the system that they are ensconced in. After all, it provides them with a level of wage and health benefits that you and I could only hope for, should we be inclined to daydream. Our Congress has been self-structured to provide a degree of luxury and job security beyond what is deserved by the participants. Over the years a seniority system has been developed that gives those at the top rungs of the ladder immense control over those who are below them. Equality among congresspersons is merely a figment of the imagination of those without a clue. As a result, little gets done that does not play into congressperson's quests for power. It's not that they don't know how to provide positive guidance and provide improvement for the rest of us. They just don't seem to care, as witnessed by their contrived infighting and dearth of material accomplishments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kip Koehler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500223794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500223793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.08d","brand":"Kip Koehler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622895366399,"sku":"9781500223793","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-politics-fails-us-kip-koehler-9781500223793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
