1. The rich are still getting richer, and everyone else poorer.
2. The people's representatives in the House suck at representing the people. They're much better at representing the interests of corporations while pretending loudly to be for the people or the common good.
3. The Senate is filled with constipated imbeciles.
4. The "press" wouldn't know what to do with First Amendment rights if they bit them in the ass.
5. Our political opponents on the right are worse than imbeciles. They are not worthy of us, but they're all we've got.
6. The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ Are full of passionate intensity.
7. The old order sucks the life out of anything new that rises to challenge it. Were you expecting change from the electoral system? What on earth gave you the idea that politics in America has the strength or energy to change anything? Where have you been for the last 40 years?
8. Therefore, real change is going to have to come, not from our "leaders" in politics or enterprise. And I stress "going to have to." It is absolutely essential for the sake of the soul of the nation.
