(55,981 posts)Some experts have told us that we've lost our democracy and now live in a country ruled by a government that is controlled by big money. This big money influence is being used to steal resources from the middle and working classes. We are the ones that help those among us that are struggling. The more and more resources that we lose to the Wealthy 1%, the less help we can give to our neighbors and families struggling. I see the struggle every day. I am angry that we have people that turn their backs on those struggling and throw in with the Wealthy 1%. They have lots of different rationalizations but nothing justifies the support of bigger profits for the Wealthy at the expense of those among us that are struggling. The billionaires that support Clinton believe she will help them in lieu of helping the lower 99%. I do believe that Clinton will toss some token "cake" to us peons, but that won't be enough.
The more and more power the billionaires gain the harder and harder it will be to recover our democracy. We may never have this chance again.
