The real 2 Parties

Forget Repub and Dem, it's all about who is bought off worse.

The actual 2 party system is the Corporatists and the rest of us.

Congress:
Repubs are basically 100% pro big business interests.
Dems about 1/2.

There in lies our dilemma.


IMHO of course.
;)

I'd say 99% and if anyone questions this, pick a Democrat and follow the money: Opensecrets.org.

than the false dichotomy that both "parties" are selling us.

It's human nature...to earn, to consume, to horde...there never will be a system that is totally "equal" as there will always be those who will outhustle or do whatever it takes to take advantage of another or to get more than others.

Out political system has always been about corporations and money...our founding fathers were far from "middle class". The battle we face these days isn't wealth as much as the disparity of that wealth. We have a bi-polar society where the middle class has been marginalized and expected to provide for the upper class and this is portrayed as "prosperity". We also saw this system all but collapse last year but destroying it completely would have not just taken down the rich but everyone else as well. Congress is caught in a battle between what prosperity means...does it mean wealth "trickling down" or a robust middle class. This is class warfare...not along party lines but along income and assets.
