Where i live lots of politicians are going down because of unethical/fucking illegal funding of campaigns from the same entity. One thing that stood out, is that NO ONE from left to right could escape, EVERYONE was into that shit. I felt murderous towards them, they were literally mounting a circus in front of everyone and they turned out to be a whole bunch of two-faced assholes.
Most of the politicians, right wing or left are crooked assholes here too. Bernie Sanders is the ONE Congressperson that is registered as “Socialist”, which here in the US is almost like calling someone a traitor to freedom…this is the kind of bullshit everyone here has been fed for so long.
People don’t realize that the regulations and rules we had in place to prevent big money from permeating our elections were there for a fucking good reason.
Most were put in place after crooked Pres. Nixon and the Watergate scandal…how quickly people forget…how ignorant and apathetic and submissive people here have been groomed into being.
The one hope I have is the more and more fucked up it gets, the more obvious it is to the public.
We are reaching a breaking point here too….people are tired of paying taxes while the rich and the large corporations pay nothing, have large amounts of money in offshore accounts, and many in fact, get money BACK from the IRS which is absolutely insane.
These are companies that make millions or billions in profit…and yet, Congress won’t touch them…instead they cut social programs for the poor and then demonize them as lazy or drug abusers or just garbage.
Fuck them…it’s gonna bite them in the ass one day…I say we break out the guillotines.
