It's a con and working class Americans are the marks.
Both sides are in cahoots and are working on behalf of their true constituency, rich people like them.


There are very few in Washington actually are on the side of the average American. No the Pres. isn't one of those few.

Stop electing rich people!

3. Ain't no more Abe Lincolns. Rich folks are the only ones
who have the money and clout to run!

6. I agree. We can't rely on a government
beholding to the rich and their corporations.

7. The US political system is rigged
Edited on Mon Jul-11-11 07:14 PM by Kaleko
so that only rich people (or paupers backed by very rich people) can afford to run for office.

In a closed system like this one, the entire edifice has to be brought down before any real change can begin.

That's why what's coming is inevitable now: a series of massive shocks to the system as the corruption becomes totally undeniable will destabilize the status quo. These shocks will bring about the creative destruction necessary for a majority of political operatives to muster the willingness and courage required to institute new rules/regulations.
