In my view the problems with America are the billionaires. They own mainstream media networks and as such only report on things that they feel will benefit them. The billionaires have bribed the conservative SCOTUS jurors to side with them on things like Citizens United where billionaires can give unlimited amounts to conservatives, anonymously, but the rest of us are severely limited in what we can give and must disclose who we are. The billionaires give excessive amounts (bribes) to politicians to reduce only their taxes while requiring those politicians to give them massive amounts of taxpayer money to enhance their personal wealth To compensate for this they bribe politicians like Trump to allow them to fire tens of thousands of Americans, to cut our Pensions (Social Security) and medical insurance (Medicare and medicare) all of which Trump promised not to cut and which funds come out of the highest taxes most people pay, FICA taxes.. They bribe politicians to start wars so they can profit off weapons supplies and reconstruction efforts after the war. They bribe politicians to destroy our commons and then give the billionaires even more tax money to rebuild what they've destroyed at many times more than the actual costs. The billionaires have bribed those running the justice system to create an unjust nation that only benefits them.

The American billionaires have destroyed our republic because they admire and are trying to create. a Russian-type Oligarchy here in America. Don't just avoid mainstream media, avoid and resist everything billionaires tell us we need. Clean up their criminal and inept behavior and cleanse this country of the extreme corruption, mostly from Republicans across all three branches of government, law enforcement, Justice, media, sports and more.

Billionaires are the problem.
