We need major change in the US, and I hope the Dems actually select a far-left candidate for president who will help everyone, and not just the rich. Trump is an idiot who is only concerned about himself!

Someone like Franklin D Roosevelt is desperately needed these days. Just listen to his speech here and its as relevant today as in the 1930s:

Can you imagine a president in favor of healthcare for everyone, housing for the homeless, low tuition for college, free food for anyone who needs it? these are things that everyone has the right to, and the wealthy people of this country should not be getting a tax break, they should be paying more!

Lol. Obama gave the big banks a blank check in 2008 and a lot of CEOs got rich.

If Obama would have also given the bank CEOs you Social Security continuations, would you have accepted him as a good capitalist then?

Its possible, if we fight to get big money out of politics. The best way to do that is to join www.represent.us and www.wolf-pac.com/.

How about get the money out of gov.? It loots the private economy of trillions every year then passes it around to the cronies, military scoundrels and welfare bums in exchange for their continued allegiance. And dont forget the $53,000 curtains!
