As always Steve, thank-you for shining the light on corruption wherever you see it and not turning a blind eye for the sake of political expediency.
Our political system is rotten to the core. As long as Citizens United stays intact and legalized bribery of our politicians is allowed, they will always represent their multinational corporate donors, the top 1%, and the radical religious right that have been allowed to buy their way into our secular political system. Case in point: The National Prayer Breakfast! Trump breaks the law at every turn with impunity and the Corporate owned moderate Dems are complicit in not using their power to bring him to justice. This is equally as infuriating and troubling!
The division between left and right is a distraction. The true division is between corporate bought politicians and the ones that refuse to take corporate bribes. The candidate with a policy platform of ending government corruption and overturning Citizens United has my full support. That is ground zero for restoring our democracy. We really can’t go forward with meaningful reforms until that is done! Getting rid of moneyed interests will open the flood gates to finally serving the best interests of the people and ending the flagrant destruction of our environment for greed.
