One party wants to make the government a completely owned subsidiary of Wall Street, and the other party wants to deliver lip service to the needs of everyone else. Both claim to be different, yet once in office they both work hard to achieve the same thing.

Instead of actually fixing things, or being honest about what the cost and hardship of fixing things is, our government just likes to put a bandaid on it, until everything is covered with a hundred band aids that must be peeled off one by one to get to the rotted core. But nobody wants to peel anything off and look at...well the truth. <br /><br />Thoughtful Post. Dapoppinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170185334349270932noreply@blogger.com
