16. You put it quite well, more people than you are probably aware

Are feeling the same way you are. I keep wondering when enough people get fed-up with our "superiors" and start putting in decent democrats in EVERY position to ensure laws are finally making sense and enforced. The well-to-do have become arrogant, morally repugnant. They are destroying the vary nation that has allowed them to prosper. Personally, I am sick of the well-to-do and corporations (300,000 people cannot drink their water in this country because they dumped chemicals in drinking water and had no federal inspection for years (keep voting Republican stupids as they feel business should be unfettered) and those that cater to them. I no longer salute the flag after the system let my daughter die from lack of medical care. Why should I honor a country that screws the little man while letting the rich and powerful pull off things you and I would be put in the slammer for. Compassionate conservatives, what a laugh, compassionate as a coiled rattlesnake! The French had a solution hundreds of years ago, even monarchy bit the dust.
