3. The perennial death march for the working class.
Wed Nov 5, 2014, 11:00 AM
Nov 2014

The working class had no representation in the 2014 elections in either party. The Democrats, like the Republicans, are controlled by the financial aristocracy that rules America. Corporate bosses and billionaires dictate the policy and personnel of both parties, and they are now demanding a further shift to the right in official Washington ...



Just another Clash of the Titans for control/power.

Election results are extremely depressing, but expected.
