(10,539 posts)All I can do is keep pointing out in the various posts how those issues would be solved if the politicians were not bought off by the Special Interests. Our election process invites corruption and these corporations have so much money, it's almost unimaginable! Publicly funded elections and some other campaign finance reforms would cause a transfer of power back to the people. A transfer that would be fought by the 1% in a "take all prisoners" approach! To get enough support to achieve this goal is the long shot I speak of.
At some point i think there will be an incident that touches off widespread protests, but with a slowly growing economy it's not likely anytime soon. I believe they are inching us downward, chipping away at our rights, but occasionally, they go to far to fast.
