Unfortunately, the average poster here just doesn't understand the truth. The truth is, neither of the parties are there to help the average person. Every time I see a thread like this one, who thinks that the fight is liberal vs conservative, I just shake my head. The same groups pay off the Democrat politicians as the Republican politicians. Let's face it, big corporations have paid off all of Washington, and they get what they want, doesn't matter which side is in office.
They get us to fight among ourselves, so we don't fight the real enemy.
You are exactly correct... there have always been "Right Leaning Democrats" as well as Right Leaning Wealthy and Wealthy Industrialist, who support the Plutocratic Autocracy.. Those politicians who actually respect "The Declaration of Independence" as being FOR ALL PEOPLE, and respect The Values and Principles of The Preamble FOR ALL PEOPLE, and Respect The Values, System, Principles and Standards FOR ALL PEOPLE, are not that many. BUT, there are some. They generally reside within the make up of those who understand the LIBERAL PRINCIPLES of The Declaration of Independence, The Liberal Values and Principle laid out in The Preamble, and the Liberal Values, System, Principle and Standards laid out in The Constitution.
There is basically two groups in America.
THOSE WHO BELIVE IN:
- PEOPLE BEFORE INDUSTRY AND THAT PEOPLE MAKE INDUSTRY FUNCTION
- INDUSTRY BEFOR PEOPLE AND THAT INDUSTRY CONTROL SOCIETY AND PEOPLE
Raw Fact is: People make the Economy, Industry is designed to Serve People, not People to Serve Industry. It is People's Labor that Makes Industry Function and Prosper by and through the collective works of the people.
People Are Deluded To Think "The Stock Market" is the Economy. When fact is, The Original Design of The Stock Market, was simple!! It was designed that people and organization and institutions could "Invest" in THE STABLILITY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGED GROWTH OF INDUSTRY... and that again is the principle of "People Sustaining Industry" for the benefit of All.
It's not that complex to understand.
The confounding matter has been and is, that Industry has convinced people that it alone is the basis and controller of how society function and if it prospers. But reality is... it is People who make that decision.
When people no longer trust industry, don't trust or care for the poor quality of products, or the excessive cost of low grade goods, they do not patronize that industry and that industry suffers and eventually will fail.
The shell game of pretense and excessive Advertisement fiction has confounded the system, where pretentious ads are used as lure, and the uncontrolled excessive expansion has pretended that one business has more market shares of consumer than it actually has. They over stock to pretend they are performing, and liquidate that stock for pennies and nickels on the dollar, and create secondary market to unload that stock, so they can re-stock and claim they are moving products and profiting, Yet, the Balance Sheet Tells The Truth... when investors are told, that "Dividends will not meet the projected fictions, so, the game then turns to "speculation based trading frenzy"; where stocks are traded based on pure speculation at 300+ times their actual valuation, and then the company borrows against that speculative value, until it become debt heavy, and is consumed by another company and discard that debt either by bankruptcy or sell off of assets and shutter the business. Its like knocking over stake dominoes, and restack them and tumble them over and over the cycle repeats itself. The looser is always to the small players...the workers, and ultimately the communities and cities, counties and states. That's the cycle of systemic despair among workers, communities, cities, counties and states.
Most people don't even give time to think about these things, because they are trapped into the grind of trying to keep a roof over their head and food on the table... they see it as too complex and they fell to inadequate to comprehend and too weak to do anything about it, so they "do all they can not to think about it or learn about it." The People crying "We've Been Left Behind"... have succumb to hopelessness, and they will grab at any fiction that pretend to stand against the man made malice, when in fact.. the pretenders.. is only in place to delude.
It takes an educated society to advance and change and grow, Democracy itself is designed for The Educated Mind. That's why it has a premise of Free Thinking and Free Speech. But it takes Education to Learn to be A Free Thinking Individual, and its takes Education to Utilize Free Speech to Support and Promote Democracy's Values and Principles for All People.
