The problem is citizens united. It really is that simple.
Our country is now electing people from both parties who are bought and paid for by the exact same puppeteers.
Those people doing the buying have no allegiance to the united states whatsoever.
Mitt romney's #1 known campaign contributor = Goldman Sachs
Obama's #2 known contributor = Goldman Sachs
I say known because now that disclosure isn't required we have zero ability to know who is in whose pocket or sure
Do you really think Goldman execs care if they are building or destroying the US economy?
They care only if they are profiting fom the rise or fall, and will ride the wave all the way up and down.
There is no connection between elections and the electorate. A vote for either candidate will yield identical results on fiscal policy because the same people own both canidates.
When our elections actually matter, our fiscal policy will change. Not before.
Bush or Obama, republican or democratic congress... Social policy changes but fiscal policy is held entirely out of reach.
There has been a coup and not a single shot was fired.
Our government is owned by people who consider themselves to be multinational corporate entities, not US companies.
