Money and Power -- The two issues that REALLY MATTER in this election
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 12:19 AM by Armstead
Begin Rant:

Over the past 40 years the economy has become consolidated into the monopolistic control of a handful of mega corporations. Small and medium sized business are an endangered species in this monopolistic environment.

This Markets Uber Alles situation is screwing the average people and the poor and threatens to decimate the middle class as more money and power trickle up to the oligarchgs at the top while everyone else gets screwed.

This has perverted the political process, because this has also concentrated the power to set and implement policies at the top.

This situation drives every otehr more specific issue you care to mention. We can't deal with otehr problems if this situation is allowed to continue.

In order to change this, and move the US (and world) in a better direction, WE HAVE TO DEMAND IT.

THOSE ARE THE STAKES IN THIS ELECTION. Forget personalities, preachers, flag pins and all the rest of it.

Whichever candidate you support, we should all keep our eye on the prize, and not let this election get hijacked by distractions and crap.

End of rant.
