  • I am freaked out by the openness of corruption in U.S politics.

    I may have gotten used to Republicans taking bribes and being dependent on their corporate masters and protected by various bought up instances but the systemwide malfunctioning will cause a serious breakdown at some point.

    .

    Why did the U.S even become independent, "No taxation without representation" hah bullshit.

    If you would follow your own rebel slogans, only the billionaires would be taxed.

  • @coopmuch56 Correction, they DID have that in Iceland but no more. Once their government fell for corporate bank money in 2005 things went down hill for Iceland in a big way. Iceland was remarkable in they're forward progression before corporate greed infected their politicians too. Don't know what's current with the country in the last 2yrs but yeah, Iceland got fucked by their politicians and banks. Hope they get back on track.

  • The hypocrisy is obvious. Now, Obama doesn't miss a chance to bash wealthy people and talking about "paying your fair share" and all this crap while he's out on the campaign trail, but in between campaign stops, he goes out of his way to attend these $20,000 dollar a plate fundraisers in Hollywood and other places. I can understand why a billionaire would give him money. They will actually get something in return. It's the "little" people sending him money that have me scratching my head.

  • Voting MAKES A DIFFERENCE! Come from up under that rock!

  • @underbjorn Welcome to our Rome.

    The politicians and super rich will fiddle while we burn.

  • @IHighLikePlane ---

    Well said and I like it how finally this simple fact is stated here on TYT commentaries.

    Modern economics is portraited as natural science whenv in fact it's more of the exact opposite, religion.

  • @underbjorn It's a rather poor situation over here, indeed. We became independent for many a good reason, but are now so far removed from our original ideals as to allow corruption to run rampant. Our democracy is still alive, but it's close the death in many ways, I fear.

  • i......think i need to hire gay people. that......isnt a joke either.

  • @DARKSIDEHELL1

    haha.....dumbass.
