If everyone in the United States who can't afford their own politician had one of these, the entire country would be covered with them.
The politicians and the wealthy corporate interests and their lobbyists, and the wealthiest in the country are a small minority. They will continue to do what they're doing to us as long as we let them. Why do we suffer these psychopaths? We're bigger than they are. If we all united together and STOPPED - this country would come to a halt. More than a snooty, arrogant, millionaire Congress, we have the power to truly shut. this. country. down. Until we get what we need to have decent lives. Is it time, yet?

(22,666 posts)3. Consumers, workers have a LOT of power. Just have to figure out how to use it....
...to bring the forces of greed-driven politics, militarized law enforcement, and unregulated capitalist economies to heel and answer to the majority.

Money = power and the average person doesn't have much of either.
