With the wrongheaded, right-wing, reprehensible Supreme Court decision on the Citizen's United case, it proves you may not be able to buy love but you can certainly buy elections. (tbc)
All three branches of government appear to be bought and paid for. The wants of corporations and the Super Rich 1 or 2% of the population take precedence over the basic needs of the other 98% or so. The needs of the most vulnerable of us are particularly at risk... (tbc) Due to greedy banks, Wall Street types, two unnecessary wars, a bloated Dept. of Homeland Security, and other needless boondoggles, the Federal government is eager to cut necessary programs people actually need while giving millionaires and billionaires "permanent tax cuts"; not to mention corporate welfare and tax breaks for businesses that outsource jobs overseas for cheap labor and refuse to create new jobs here.
Paraphrasing the "Declaration of Independence" : "There are certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government..." Something like that is happening right now in Tunis and Egypt. Since our Federal government is now apparently a corporat(e)ocracy or a plutocracy (government by the rich), our government has little or no concern for the needy, vulnerable, or the have-nots. When our government pays little or no heed to the hungry, homeless, jobless, or allows people to suffer needlessly to save money, then our own government should be "altered or abolished" in the not too distant future.
