Trazz

a great example of an oligarchy. elected officials being manipulated into doing what a corporation wants them to do, and we keep electing them because we are content with it. would love if there was some accountability for this level of corruption.

Wow Trazz! Someone who knows how to get to the heart of the matter. Few people seem to realize the US is an oligarchy. And how did we get that way? Look no further than the beginnings of modern day CONservatism starting with the Powell Memorandum in 1971. Other sites like Origins of the Overclass, Building and Nurturing A Movement and The US is an Oligarchy; the research explained pretty much explains it all. Amazing how far conservatives have taken this free market trickle down scam to destroy the American middle class while transferring wealth to the elites and transnational corporations without most even aware of it. They closed down our manufacturing, destroyed labor unions, deregulated so they could legally pollute and sent our jobs to China, India and elsewhere. And if you listen to conservative media propaganda these days all of that nonsense was done by the evil Left who are Marxists when the real Marxists and socialists are the Right who transferred middle class wealth to their elite overclass. You know, the ones who fund Republican campaigns, fund conservative think tanks to create legislation for them to pass once in congress not to mention what they do to steal elections by suppressing the vote, voter roll purging and other election shenanigans if it appears things won't go their way. If you think Jan. 6, 2021 was bad wait until the next big election or even the mid-terms.

oh and yes, this has begun to infect the Democratic Party as well i.e. Manchin, Sinema and other leadership. Even so look at the difference in legislation proposed by both parties and it is obvious one is the party of the wealthy, doing their bidding.
