Out of respect for the several people I know to just be liberals, I have to say that many, (most?) of the Democrats have left liberal behind.  They’re no longer liberals, they’re Socialist heading to Communist.  The folks we’ve always thought of as liberals are probably as politically frustrated as conservatives.

Sometimes I think the X Files wasn’t so far off when they showed this group of individuals that had virtually unlimited power to do what they will.

Black budget, area 51, bilderberg group. Oh wait is this the right forum. Anyway, the 26 richest people have more money than 3.8 billion other people combined. Something is wrong about that.

How would you deal with that issue?

I'm not a politician, so I don't pretend to have all the answers. Just have tons of questions about what has gotten us into this mess.

Money equals power. Power to enforce their beliefs and ideas on the rest of us. If you think you voice is being heard, you are wrong. Elected officials don't listen to the people. They only hear those who have the money to pay for their votes.

Yes, after money comes power, but all the money in the world (literally) couldn't get Hillary elected, so the people do have a voice.

So are you saying everything would be hunky dory if we could just separate the wealthy from their money?

No of course not. But there should be way to keep govt equal. Let's start by getting rid of lobbyist and corrupt politicians. I proposed term limits to force Congress to make progress while they are there.

The group that invented socialism and communism pretty much run this country.  They have been running things for a long time.

Marx and Engels have been dead over 100 years.

Citizens United case turned money into votes. That ain’t good for anyone without that kind of dough, be you liberal or conservative.

Again, I’d love to see how many in Congress are left if we got rid of the corrupt.  I’d love for every member to come under the scrutiny of a team like Mueller has.  Bet he’d get plenty of indictments.  We probably ought to have that about every 3 years.

Do you mean the case in which the courts ruled in THEIR FAVOR?
