Don't you know that you are being played?

Don't you know politicians don't count for shite? The people running the economy BUY politicians.

If a politician does the job well, the folks in charge might later toss them a well-paying consultancy or see that they get admitted to the right health clubs and their children go to the right schools so they can marry into one of the royal families.

Over half the wealth in this country is owned by just 400 families. None of them are politicians but when these captains of industry choose to spend, the economy prospers. When they choose to withhold, the economy tanks.

Politicians are just the freak show to draw your attention away from the man pushing buttons behind the curtain.

Maybe you ought to be pissed at HIM instead of the middle management.

Maybe some of what you say is the truth, but politicians still have to answer to the people at the ballot box, and the rise of the tea party and the affect it has had on the national discussion is clear evidence.

Yes and each election cycle we get to pick from the least of the worst.And we do it over and over....

"If ever time should come when vain and aspiring men shall posses the highest seats in Government our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."--Samuel Adams--

"Every step we take towards making the state our caretaker of our lives,by that much we move toward making the state our master."--Dwight D Eisenhower--

So why is 9% of this country out of work? Where is the dough we are getting? Even the black population is starting to realize these folks aren't worth their weight in voter fraud.

its more like bad cop/ worse cop just a complete mess no one wants to hear the truth that we are screwed either way

My girlfriend plays it like a flute every night. Got no problem with it.

I don't care about other people's money. I have money. I have an education. I can earn money.

I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me.
