But every article that came out and every news story on it just gave him an honorable mention. The chosen ones were put to the front of the line as usual.
It would take decades to undo what has been done via elections. By then you will be one dead SSI recipient. BTW did you know that these same people have an insurance policy on your (a veterans) life and when you die it goes to the bankers and not your family??

Elections are not "fixed"...and there are about forty or fifty federally registered political parties currently in existence that run candidates for federal office and the people have the power to create new political parties. It is not a matter of selecting one of the two dominate parties...it is a matter of the people exercising the power they have to initiate "revolution/change"...via the vote.
It has been clear to me my entire life that the majority of the people prefer to accept their fate and then moan about that fate rather than exercise the power that has been provided to them.
It is government by the people and for the people only when the people exercise it...but the majority of the people prefer just to moan and say "something needs to be done" and then do nothing themselves.
I seriously doubt that one person per thousand even know the name of their own Congressman or Senator...and that one in ten thousand has ever contacted their Congressman or Senator.
