But it is. Because those we have elected are tied directly to the power of the corporations. Certainly you can see that. It is about power on behalf of the individual politico, including Obama, and power on behalf of the corps or unions or special interest groups. No party is immune. I would say 80% are whores of special interest groups. 10% on either side are in it for real change for the better of the nation of the whole. The problem is that those 20% will never make the changes needed.
We are Fucked.
