1. "Two Party, One Party" - that about sums it up.

Clinton made sure NAFTA and GATT and the WTO trade alliances were set and ready to help destroy our labor force. He signed the repeal of Glass Steagall, which opened the door to the Wall Street banksters and their sacking of any financial regulations worth their salt. His Telecommunications Act (or the signing of such) gave us all the obscene cable bills we now have… along with other disgraces the phone and cable industries get away with. His cutting of the safety nets for the underprivileged helped further destroy the family values both parties rail about.


This is why so many people didn't see much difference between the two parties. The day the dems sold out labor is the same day they climbed on the corporate gravy train. Social issues are about the only difference between the two parties. Economically, the dems work for the 1% just like the repubs.
