The reason is that the few control the gold. And We The People have proven very complacent and willing to accept whatever scraps they throw us.
America is beholden to the wealthy and politically powerful (usually also wealthy by most standards)
Donald Trump sang a good song and convinced many Americans that he would finally change Washington and "drain the swamp". But I HIGHLY doubt any such thing will occur.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but money rules and Donald has a lot of it. He's an elitist himself by all standards.....a true 1% er.
Our government is a tool...a tool used by the wealthy and powerful to manipulate and deceive the masses into directing and funneling great wealth into their own pockets.
They live like royalty while forcing the average American to be a slave, giving their lives and their time to grease the machines that keep them wealthy while the working class American is BARELY able to afford the bare necessities.
The degree to which the greed has evolved to the detriment of the average American is both obvious and amazing. Yet we continue to lament there's nothing "WE" can do and march complacently into line.
The "Affordable Health Care Act" was one of the most brazen plots to further benefit the wealthy America has ever seen.
At what point do Americans realize they're being played? The wealthy elitist are pitting every conceivable difference between people to set them against each other.
That way, the focus remains on those "Evil Republican voters" or those "ignorant dumb Democrat voters" etc....instead of the real root of the problem. Manipulation by the mega wealthy.
WISE the **** UP people !!!!!!
Learn who your REAL enemy is.....(hint: it's not the liberal, independent, conservative or other you argue with here on the forum)...it's the 1% who really call the shots and the politicians who willfully play along because they get comfy and rich by doing so.
(although there probably are a few dangerous people here on both sides)
Your comments respected and appreciated.
Trump has enough support to actually make changes in most areas like trade, regulations, and taxes. The one area where it will be very difficult for him will be immigration, because everyone is against him there -- half of the Republicans, all of the Democrats, the entire permanent bureaucracy, the judiciary, municipalities, and so on. Even simply enforcing current laws will be very difficult. I'm afraid that the best we'll be able to say about Trump concerning immigration when it's all said and done is that he tried.
