Big companies are stopping Congress from fixing the patent system
The US congress was supposed to be made up of ordinary citizens who part of the time lived at home in their districts. ran their businesses and affairs and occasionally went to vote on federal government issues.<p>What we have is a political class that only does law and politics.  Most of them look down on those of us who have to actually work and produce to make a living.  Small business individually have almost no revenue or clout compared to these larger entities even though collectively we are the ones who represent most of the economy (or should be representing almost all of the economy if it's healthy).
