Who Rules America?

[Serial Mom]

We must GET LOUDER!

From last year, but we now know that Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, Koch Bros, Waltons, and many other voices as theirs are heard... our voices are just whispers. Bill Maher mentioned this study on Real Time last night.


"the influence of ordinary Americans registers at a "non-significant, near-zero level." The analysts further discovered that rich individuals and business-dominated interest groups dominate the policymaking process."

"The study also debunks the notion that the policy preferences of business and the rich reflect the views of common citizens."

1. MasterBlaster rules America!

2. We're not out until they no longer have to come to us

for our votes. There are over 150,000 voter-eligible citizens, after all.

In short: We do when we care to.

3. In KY voters were told show up to vote or teaparty will kill you...

And the teaparty asshole who wants to kill poor people by taking them off healthcare, won.

They didnt show up

People will have to suffer before they wake and grow up.

4. But most those that DID vote for TP are same that will lose Healthcare...

Uninformed and being lied to, these are the people that voted against their own interests... uneducated

5. The angry young men who can beat us into submission at the will of the oligarchs

run the country.

If Roger Ailes/Bill Gates/David Koch came at you demanding you do as he wishes and didn't have the power of the angry young men behind him, you'd kick the asshole in the balls and tell him to fuck off.

Angry young men run the world and the stupid shits don't even know it or know why they do what they do.
