And no political party or politician, except Ron Paul (unfortunately he'll never be elected), is going to change that. Obama campaigned exactly as the opposite of the Bush years and yet, we accused McCain of wanting to be Bush's 3rd term but the reality is, we ARE in Bush's 3rd term. Obama is exactly following the Bush Doctrine to a T and there's a 98% chance the next president will do the same. Actually, didn't Clinton involve us in wars too? And Bush 41? And Reagan? Oh my Lord, they really are all the same aren't they? They just come in different flavors
For the most part that is correct. Their are only a few who do stand up for the people and the country to stop the corporatism/fascism like the strong progressives, independents like Sanders and libertarians like Ron Paul.
Reagan really got the wheels turning and W kicked it into overdrive. Obama has been for the most part nothing but a moderate republican who caves and continues down the path to the destruction of the middle class. The republicans have the pedal to the floor and the democrats are hanging onto the bumper digging their feet into the ground, but still are on the ride to lead this nation into a corporatist/fascist reign.
This is a great segment by Paul explaining the situation
Americans are too convinced that they too will one day be rich to ever recognize that the people who already dominate the flow of wealth in our society are making that dream increasingly improbable. Things will have to get worse before they get better.
I think you're exactly right. The "American Dream" is exactly that: a dream! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that if you have 100 dollars and 10 people, and 1 person has 90 dollars, that HE is the one who runs the show, and the other 9 will NEVER have what he has.
How is it that Americans are so easily hoodwinked???
