Republicans and Democrats are both corporate shills, it is just that the Democrats are either too damn stupid or too damn dishonest to admit it.

The government is owned lock stock and barrel by corporate interests and yet all the Democrats want is to increase their power over the people by increasing the size of government.

The Republicans on the other hand openly embrace the monopolies of Wall St and then act as if they want smaller government while all the time increasing both the budget and its power over the people.

They are both as dishonest as they can be, and that goes for the people who belong to their parties.

It's called an oligarchic plutocracy. That's what you live under.

So did you just figure this out?
