No matter which party controlls Congress or the presidency, it barely matters anymore. Globalization, corporatism, the wholesale purchasing of our government and our courts by monied interests... the American middle class is gone, baby, gone- and it isn't coming back.

sad but true
Unless the people rise up, it seems to be happening across the globe in the form of non violent protest, I think we are getting very close to that point, the greedy corporations may push us to the tipping point.
When enough people lose their jobs or have their pay and health benefits lowered or taken away along with losing their homes.
In colonial days people signed away years of freedom for the "loan" of ship's passage to America, where they were sold to bidders for a period of bondage. If only Wall Street had existed then! Imagine the money Goldman Sachs could have made on selling "IBS's" - "indenture-backed securities."

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
We might as well be honest and set a poll tax at 10 million dollars or so. That would make the owners to official voters. This is also happening on a worldwide basis. The harassment of several European countries is not being done by governments but by banks. Who gave them the power over the economies of these and our countries? Did we? Really? I never voted to be controlled by the international bankers and their energy monopolists. Did any of you?
We really need to organize a worldwide revolution against this domination by the owners and return control of our politics and our economies to the people that create the wealth not the people that steal it.
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.
