Showing Original Post only (View all)Rec If You Are Sick Of Our Pay To Play Corrupt Governemt Ran By The Oligarchs [View all]
For the first time I see thousands of people standing up to what they and I see as a completely corrupt government. I call it the gravy train.
Every single major piece of economic legislation benefits the "haves" and not working class, or poor Americans.
Don't even talk about the environment.
If you are one of the many standing up for real change, and want money out of politics please rec this OP.
I am extremely pleased by what I see, like the sheer numbers at the rallies in Seattle.
I think the oligarchs are starting to lose, and they won't be happy. They will also do "what is necessary" to hold onto their death grip on our government. It won't be pretty......
