Are you starting to connect the dots now? In a moment, I'll give you a link to a Glen Greewald article. The article reports Senator Dick Durbin saying the major US Banks own the Congress. They own not just one party. They own both parties. Where have you heard this before? Hello, McFly?!! Right here on this Blog. I've been telling you both parties are beholden to the political donor class. The problem (let's see if you can predict what I'm going to write before I write it) is not one party or the other. The problem is the system the parties operate under. So long as the two parties operate under that system, we will continue to have the problems we have. If you want to get rid of the problems, then change the system.

What changes?

Institute IRV. Don't know what IRV is? Start reading this Blog and educating yourself.

Find a third party with an egalitarian and pragmatic secular philosophy of how to make government effective and efficient.

Support re-instituting civil service and pay high level officials sufficiently so they are willing to stay in government instead of being in the revolving door system. Go back to having only the very top positions in the Federal agencies occupied by political appointees.

Support that party financially so they don't need the bankers to win elections.

Get other people to do what you're doing. It's that simple--and that hard.

Here's the link.
