The politicians tell you what issues are important to the public and the public sucks it up.
The whole while most are talking about issues that the politicians knows the conversation will look favorable to them and since the public does not yell the issues to them, we are never going to talk issues that matter to our everyday lives in the short or long term.
It is time the public set the agenda and the first thing I think both parties of the public can agree on is that we need to get rid of is lobby written legislation and the lobbyist themselves. Ross Perot did warn you some time ago and it's only got worse.
When a citizen has less rights than a publicly traded company, there is something wrong with that since we shed the blood to protect there interest over ours.
It did read We The People, NOT We The Corporations.
You want your liberty's back now, you are going to have to fight hard for them. It's gone to far.
We should have got the pitch forks out when Wall Street and the banks proved once again they could not be trusted without strict regulation. Only 8 years after removing the reg's and they nearly trash the world economy. 8 years latter and we are still digging out of the hole after taking care of the folks that did it to us. And we were helpless to it.
I doubt there is enough stomach for it. You will never have a solution if you don't blame the right folks.
The banks and wall street is a good place to start and it does not end there. Anything less is biz as usual.
I am expected to be accountable for my actions but a corporate charter is almost a license to kill / get out of jail free card. Change is needed.
And I don't need someone to tell me the system is rigged,
I need someone to tell me exactly how they plan to fix that !
If they want my one vote that is.
I don't care who they represent as a party, it is the substance of there intentions that will change my life. It is to hard to gauge that for most when there is so much money in the election process. A foreign power could be supporting a candidate and you would never know it because of the new MONEY IS EQUAL TO FREE SPEECH RULES prevents us from knowing who the donors are. Where are the checks and balances on that.
How much free speech is in your wallet !
That's my rant for the night. Have a good day if you can. If not, look for the pitch fork. or let someone pacify you with who to blame for it.
