In any event, I still hold to my prior statements that both parties are beholden to the corporatistwhore party above all and at best, the citizens of this country might wish for some table scraps from time to time.
So true! So sad, but so true. If we ever got corporate money out of elections, then we'd really see some change. I'm afraid the corporations hold so much power that we'll never get it back.
You are joking right? You meean the last 8 years (and even before that) you feel that everything was "ok" and the system was not broken. Question do you own part of a Oil company or have massive quanities of Haliburton?
No, no no!
This goes back 100 years. No, I own no stocks what so ever. I'm not a gambler.
nothing will happen because everything will still be the same.
i never understood why people couldnt comprehend that dems and repubs are one and the same.
people feel though that they need to "root for" someone, get behind a party to feel like they can choose a winner and that they are important, which is why they play this dem vs. repub game.
i was the same way before, but just realized it was pointless in the end.
so the simple answer is, as long as the politicians are backed by all these corporations who come first, not you, thats what you need to understand.
you do not matter, the corporations who back these politicians matter. as long as it stays that way nothing will change.
people think they matter though, that there vote counts. that electing new people will save them.
Are we in an era where we need to cut spending and have less government? Will the economy just iron itself out with less government?
Is that a trick question? Every Senator that we can get like Dino Rossi (who is running against the pathetic Patty Murray in WA), who promises to "NOT bring home the bacon" will be one step closer to saving this country.
Well, if they take the House and the Senate, they can roll back some of the disastrous obamacare law....by NOT funding the creation of more than 150 NEW departments, by NOT funding the hiring of 15,000 NEW IRS agents, by NOT funding a lot of the legislation that expands the federal government.
He's making another $50 billion URGENT request.
"President Obama urged reluctant lawmakers Saturday to quickly approve nearly $50 billion in emergency aid to state and local governments, saying the money is needed to avoid "massive layoffs of teachers, police and firefighters" and to support the still-fragile economic recovery."
How about telling those state governments to stop spending so much and maybe the feds stop giving them unfunded mandates? I don't want to pay for California's and New York's excesses.
