This is such a load of shit. If you don't think this country's economic and legislative systems have been manipulated by the wealthy and powerful to benefit themselves, you're just not paying attention.

Conspiracy commie you've become. Put tin foil on your avatar.

Yep, because commies are all for dismantling public unions, practicing fiscal responsibility, closing loopholes  or raising raxes for the super-rich so they pay a larger share of the tax burden, ALL WHILE lowering the overall size of government so the middle class (the backbone of a democracy) can thrive and so wealth flexibility for the average person goes back up. If you work hard and make millions, good for you. I'm not trying to take all you money, only trying to minimize your influence on government while taxing you in a fair and balanced manner. I'm not advocating a 65% tax like we had in the 50s, only saying that SOMETHING needs to be done to fix this increasingly important problem.

Oh wait, that sounds like a pretty balanced approach to government, actually. Both sides are full of shit here and it's high time the American public realized it. Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans when it comes to pandering to their respective lobbyists and self-serving interests, they just do a better job of hiding it.
