Why Americans are so Angry ~ This is not a Partisan Issue

[NoNukes]

You must be in a dream world if you think that the your desired party/ government is looking out for your best interest. Wake the fuck up~

People are realizing , and educating themselves to who and what is influencing the congress, government voting interests and their voting history is not in our favor.

Big money is basically running this country, and attempts to make it transparent is continuously being shot down by the backers and donors of the Super-Pacs.

This thread is just a tiny tiny bit of what is really going on.

To ensure that everyone is held accountable, in addition to rigorous enforcement of existing laws, we need legislation to shut down individual candidate super PACs and strengthen the rules that prohibit coordination between candidates and outside spending groups.

A war is being waged against the DISCLOSE Act. Its Commander in Chief is Senator Mitch McConnell, his secret weapon is misinformation and his goal is to protect unlimited dark money contributions to the political process.

McConnell outlined his plan of attack in a speech to the American Enterprise Institute. Wrapping himself in a narrow and self-serving interpretation of the First Amendment, McConnell casts liberals as the enemies of free speech and he and his foot soldiers (the Chamber of Commerce) as the true protectors of our constitutional rights. But take apart his arguments and it is easy to spot his true intentions—not to protect the free speech rights of all citizens, but to protect the ability of wealthy donors to anonymously influence our democratic process.

The Sunlight Foundation refutes the worst inaccuracies being lobbed against reasonable efforts to disclose the dark money that is infiltrating our elections. This Orwellian tactic is timed to defang public support for the DISCLOSE Act, which the Senate is likely to consider in July.

Prescription drug, biotechnology, and medical device companies spent more than $700 million lobbying congress and the Whitehouse between 2009 and 2011. In 2012 Congress gave these industries more say in how prescription drugs and medical devices are approved.

I'm angry because our country is sliding into a cesspool of third world sewage, and nobody seems to give a shit.

Oddly enough congress isn't supposed to look out for our interests. We are. They are supposed to make sure our liberties are protected and our lives are protected. Other than that, we are supposed to step up and makes our lives the best we can

General Welfare...You lose, as always.

Hate to break it to you but we aren't playing a game.

Hate to break it to you but the 98.7% of people who can't live off their Portfolio don't give a shit about your opinion.
