Excellent post from you.
It’s true: the current GOP elite have a tacit agreement with the Dems so that both ‘sides’ can grow rich in peace.
It’s straight out of Belloc’s ‘The Servile State’. The baton of rulership gets passed around every so often, but the main thing is that the pork gets delivered.
Principled candidates and the Tea-Party movement are a direct threat to this self-serving status quo.
The American people may not understand the word “servile,” but they are against it. The trouble is they are so uninformed that they continue to vote for candidates committed to keeping them “servile”.
