Voters Blame Trade Agreements for Job Losses

[Jack Rabbit]

53. Absolutely correct, it doesn't mean that at all

It means there is precious little difference between a Republican, who thinks politicians being corrupted by large campaign contributions from large corporations is how our political system is supposed to work, and a third-way Democrat, who thinks pretty much the same thing.

Of course, Democrats have the advantage on social issues. Here, Republicans are outright fascists who are presently dreaming up ways to keep women, young people and minorities from voting and bussing in Brown Shirts to disrupt public forums dedicated to solving problems concerning public health.

However, the plain truth of the matter is that income inequality will destroy America faster than anything else, and the establishmentarians in both major parties are aiding and abetting the robber barons rather than abating the crisis. It would take a police state to maintain that level of inequality. I find it ironic to allude to a famous phrase by a president of the recent past who is responsible for much of the current crisis, but a police state cannot be the shining city on the hill.
