lesson is, exactly as you've pointed out, you can't represent big money & claim to be representing the people. If one doesn't understand by now that not only is this country in trouble due to the big money stranglehold by MULTINAT'L corporations, but all nations as well, thanks to their predatory practices over people & the planet, then you are either part of that problem, or simply ignorant.

Democrats need to choose what they empower in this election. One cannot claim democratic principles & also cheerlead the demise of true representative gov't, big money is buying EVERYTHING, their power is growing beyond that of nations, because they control everything through that golden, revolving door. Power is being purchased, candidates are for sale, who do we think they will be catering to? It's a no brainer & being revealed in so many ways.

It's business as usual, privatizing profit while socializing risk....funny how that socialistic adventure is never anything we hear complaints about, not while mainstream media is corporate owned, everything is being framed, always as a another marketing venture aimed at the public...got to sell it all as necessary, part of capitalism and staying competitive, spreading "democracy".

Isn't the very definition of fascism, a merger of state and corporate power? Interesting times we live in.
