Tearing Down the Corrupt System That Profits Off the American People

I am not here to tear down the United States government. I am here to tear down and rebuild the corrupt system that has embedded itself inside it.

That distinction matters—because the problem is not democracy, representation, or the idea of government itself. The problem is a deeply entrenched system that has been captured, manipulated, and weaponized by a small group of powerful interests who profit from the suffering, division, and confusion of the American people.

For decades, Americans have been told that the battle is Democrats versus Republicans. That is a lie. That fight is political theater. It is a distraction designed to keep working people arguing with each other while the same individuals, corporations, and donors control both sides from behind the scenes.

The Two-Party Illusion

We are conditioned to believe that one party fights for the rich and the other fights for the poor. But when you follow the money, you see the truth: the same elite interests benefit regardless of which party holds power. The wealthy get wealthier. Corporations get bailouts. Lobbyists get access. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are left struggling under rising costs, shrinking opportunities, and a system that extracts value from their labor while offering little in return.

The political class pretends there is a real difference because that illusion keeps the system running. As long as people are emotionally invested in party loyalty, they are less likely to question who truly holds power. Division is profitable. Confusion is profitable. Fear is profitable.

Who Really Benefits?

The people who control this system benefit directly from the American people’s labor, pain, and division. They profit off economic hardship. They profit off broken families. They profit off debt. They profit off incarceration. They profit off war. They profit off healthcare being unaffordable. They profit off housing being out of reach.

And many senators and congressmembers know exactly what I am talking about.

They understand the racket. They understand how power is consolidated and protected. Yet many of them choose silence—or active participation—because they benefit from it. A guaranteed salary of roughly $14,000 per month. Lifetime benefits. Influence. Access. And, for some, under-the-table money and “legal” corruption through donors, lobbyists, and billionaire-backed interests.

Let’s be honest: too many of these individuals are not serving the people. They are serving the system that keeps them comfortable.

The Illusion of Representation

Politicians will put it on paper. They will say it out loud. They will look into cameras and tell you they have your best interests at heart. But actions matter more than words.

If you truly open your eyes and examine who benefits from your labor, your taxes, your stress, your losses, and your sacrifices, you will see the truth. This system is designed to extract from you—not empower you.

Even personal pain is monetized. Broken relationships, custody battles, legal disputes, and economic instability are all areas where systems profit while individuals suffer. Nothing is accidental. The system feeds on dysfunction.

You Are Sovereign

Here is what they do not want you to realize: you are sovereign.

Your power does not come from the state. Your power comes from your existence, your labor, your consent, and your willingness to comply with systems that do not serve you. For too long, Americans have been tricked into voluntarily handing over their power—believing that someone else will take care of them, protect them, or represent them.

That has not happened.

It is time to wake up. It is time to stop blindly trusting institutions that have repeatedly shown you who they work for. It is time to stop giving your power away to people who do not have your best interests at heart.

Why I Am Running

My name is John Washington, and I am not just running for president to hold a title or participate in a broken system. I am running to fix what needs to be fixed.

That means calling out corruption without party bias. That means challenging the power structures that benefit from keeping Americans divided. That means rebuilding a system that serves people—not donors, not corporations, and not political elites.

This movement is about accountability, sovereignty, and truth. It is about restoring power to the people where it belongs.

The system does not change itself. It only changes when people refuse to participate in the lie.
