I'm always trying to post links to this blog on Facebook and the like and it would be nice if there was a Facebook, Reddit, or Digg button. Or maybe all the above and more.Jesse B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14021991724755992864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-71996601438336231132009-10-14T22:23:06.001-07:002009-10-14T22:23:06.001-07:00A Congress "of the corporations, by the corpo...A Congress "of the corporations, by the corporations" <br /><br />Until there is a massive change in how Washington politics is handled, the majority of the politicians will be bought and paid for by the special interests. The people will always come a distant second.<br /><br />We need some new, very harsh rules for anyone holding public office. Mega transparency and accountability - bigtime punishment for transgressions.SpookyOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04247845234734644470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-11494388723387176402009-10-14T21:20:48.289-07:002009-10-14T21:20:48.289-07:00Hmmm

This is all about the 1/10 of 1% screwing the other 99% again, and again, and again....<br />It will not change until the powers in Washington are forced to do so. These people will never ever willingly give up one iota of power/money until we the people take it away from them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-29309454323737269032009-10-14T16:23:41.469-07:002009-10-14T16:23:41.469-07:00Andrew, does that really help solve the problem to...Andrew, does that really help solve the problem to say most of the rich are democrats? And are they really? Could you provide some data on that?<br /><br />I know quite a few wealthy people and about 70% of them are in fact Fox News loving fiscal conservatives.<br /><br />The divide and conquer mentality is obviously deeply ingrained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-38053596439325819812009-10-14T14:37:24.227-07:002009-10-14T14:37:24.227-07:00Who would be surprised by this turn of events?
