Government never solves the problems they create. It would take away their job security.
A bigger government is not the solution. It is the entire problem.
It's all about money. For every anti-poverty program, for example, there are a bunch of people who make money off of it and it isn't just people getting rich or powerful, either. There are plenty of Average Joe's who would be out of a job if poor people were no longer poor. Put a Band-Aid on it and they still keep their jobs.

I was not party specific.

Up until 2010 and the grassroots silent majority getting PO'ed, we had 2 progressive parties going toward the same goal. The only difference, was the angle of attack.

If government actually fixed the problem(which is the government itself) They would lose all that special interest and big banking money that fuels their greed to control us and be a slave for FICA.

Who controls the money?


I clearly see the problem! How about you?

Most of the compounding problems we face today as a free society, were created by government between 1910 and 1920, in an all out effort to seize control over that freedom. To turn us into worker bees for the Rothchilds and JP. Morgans.

What is the problem you are referring to? Anything specific or just another general "I hate the government" rant?

Neither party is immune. THEY BOTH DO IT - one side today, the other side points it out - the other side tomorrow, reverse is true.

Our forefathers are rolling around in their graves - and would not know the USA if they were alive today.

Actually no. Don't try to paint the parties as equal. One party is trying to get money out of politics. The other party is trying to expand money's influence in politics.

I mean who would know a country that claims to love democracy but openly votes the opposite? We hate the poor. We hate voting rights. We hate equal rights. We hate the government. We love money. We love corporations.

Also, stop giving the Founding Fathers so much credit. According to them, "freedom" is only for white Christian men. They were rapist slave drivers.

I hope somebody cleans your clock. If it wasn't for the founding fathers, you wouldn't be allowed to say these things.

This!!!!

Private industry needs to stop looking for ways to price gouge and rip off the American people. It's all how can we squeeze more and more money out of people and no wonder the government has to step in and fund people's lives. Private industry needs to stop lobbying for building codes that practically corral people into buying houses larger and more expensive than they want to or need.

Cable companies need to stop charging people for commercially supported entertainment! Guess you missed THAT bait and switch? Remember when paid-for tv was supposed to be commercial free? Now we pay for it AND get commercials shoved down our stupid throats.

Meanwhile people like you point the finger at the "government" and call these private industry thieves your "capitalist heroes". That's the kind of deflection private industry wants to see while they screw over everyone. [/quote]
