4. Corruption should be the central issue.

Citizen's United was the legalization of it.

Republicans propose nothing for the people expect wedge issues to keep the rabble stirred and divided....oh and tax cuts for the wealthy while the DC sleight of hand continues.
Education budgets slashed -
Infrastructure budgets slashed -
Social programs trimmed and threatened -
"Defense" budget bloated -
Pentagon / MIC revolving door continues to spin -
Congressional miscreants can't wait to wind up on K street where the big money is -
Government now working for Wall Street -

Most if not all of this country's problems can be laid at corruption's doorstep if you think about it enough.

Sorry, no link(s) ..... just one old guy's opinion, rant complete.

Peace
