58. Since congress is grid locked do you suppose..........
Mon Jul 7, 2014, 11:08 AM
Jul 2014

There might be some halfhearted attempt to keep the stratification going with social, justice and equal rights issues. Like except for the more brain dead in population, pretty much everybody agrees that the Billionaires are taking us for a ride. The hobby-lobby ruling, the racial divides with immigration and maybe a few others are being used for a backdrop.

The people who have a lots of money have many weak points when economics are the issue. To deal with it this ole slight of hand to trick to change the subject. The billionaires have all the resources they could ever dream of and the largest megaphone, why wouldn't they at least try to muffle the subject about economic fairness with it all? Most anyone can tell the stooges they have set up on the republican side have a poorer chance taking the POTUS position. Investing in Hilary as much as possible with out being too obvious would seem like a good plan to me on many fronts. Muddy the waters always make good sense if you are trying to confuse people to what the real issues are wouldn't it seem?
