Oh, and let’s not pretend that it is party dependent - those in charge could care less. Those that provide the money for their campaigns are always going to get the gratis.
It’s called politics! Our country is not going down the drain fast just because of left or right but because of the money that buys our politicians. Don’t really see a way out here...
New phrases like ‘too big to fail’:
‘Too difficult to prosecute.’
‘Too big to prosecute.’
It's called 'The Savings and Loan'. You start in each State with "Momma dollar and Papa dollar" and get your neighbor to do the same.
It's no problem on a small scale, but start a people's movement away from the banks and it won't happen like it did in the movies. That much power will not be happy about not being fed or FED and will play dirty.
So the likelihood of pulling off a move away from the banks on a large scale, without a historical revolution, is slim to none.
This was, in my opinion, the original idea of the Democrat party..but they got taken over by their own crooks...the unions, who started slowly taking funds for themselves and have now gone global with their hosing operation of "the people".
So ya..it's all corrupt to the core. There is no grand governing ideology on either side of R&D(short for false two party)..only power breeding more power.
The TEA Party movement has a small chance to make a difference if it goes for the already underlining strength of the Libertarians but could easily be co-opted into the GOP-e without strong leaders literally willing to put their life and career on the line. There is too much historical precedence to suggest that such leadership and all that it may require, is not to be taken lightly by the enlightened. If our leaders come out...be ready to back them.
