Both GOP and Democratic party are in the pockets of big business.

It can be seen in it's entirety here:

The Untouchables | FRONTLINE | PBS

Glenn Greenwald writes a very informative article as well. It's just plain as day Obama has no moral center.

I'll give you credit for not shying away from criticizing this Administration. That says alot about you, and even more about the Obama minions on this forum who can't find it within themselves to do the same.

I would like it if everyone read the entire document because it effects everyones future.
The course on country is on is intentional and there is no Left or Right about it. It is the elite.

Exactly. The American dream is not really fulfillable any more, but pretend that it is, so people will keep trying. And if they don't succeed, blame them, and not the system which is rigged.

In other words, people are not class conscious in this country. So many erroneously believe that, you too can be a millionaire. No, sorry, that's not the case. This kind of thinking really permeates white collar jobs and the petty bourgeois class. The stockbroker, lawyer, doctor, small business owner, etc., that believe they are part of the rich class and their mission is to destory those unruly unions and bluecollar workers that stand in their way, when in reality they have more in common with them than Wall St. bankers and such. Sorry, you are not part of the elite, you likely never will be, so stop trying to pretend that you're with the "in" crowd. They hate you, think you're scum, you're just a useless eater to them. The sooner Americans wake up and accept this as truth, the better

^^^This.

The fact that a private investigator could find plenty of low level people that admitted the banks were committing fraud, and that the DOJ could find nothing was very telling.

And this from your link:

We spoke to a couple of sources from within the fraud section of the Criminal Division, and through mid-2010 they reported that when it came to Wall Street, there were no investigations going on; there were no subpoenas, no document reviews, no wiretaps.
That is because their all one big happy family scratching each others backs as they flip the bird to all American's

I agree ...A question that puts it in perspective---. "who's your friend?, the poor farmer or the rich banker?"
