“Democrips and Rebloodicans”. That’s right. The Crips and the Bloods, the famously 80s West Coast naughty homies that taught white kids how to throw a gang sign and made wearing certain colors illegal in public schools. As dangerous as those brothers are, and , the Democrats and Republicans are much, much worse. “We’ve got an entire political system based on bribery. It’s obscene,” “If you vote for a Democrat or a Republican, you get what you deserve. Today, that view is mainstream. What’s congress’s approval rating? Ten percent? Fifteen? Whatever it is, it is at historically low levels. And the most popular Democratic president since Bill Clinton has struggled to top a 50% approval rating for most of his four years in office.We all believe the system is somewhat rigged, bought and paid for by a handful of important corporations — ExxonMobil for energy policy — and lobby groups — the American Bankers Association for economic and fiscal policies. With the creation of political SuperPACs, the non-profits that donate tens of millions to politicians, a handful of wealthy individuals also are given more sway in national, and state level politics.Everyone knows it. Including Wall Street. That’s right. That Washington insiders eventually work for lobby firms daily promoting powerful interests is now a given. We the People that once ran government, maybe a hundred years ago, has become “Them” the People. The legislators grilling Dimon on Wednesday all received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the bulge bracket banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, as the New York Post reported on its cover page today. It’s a plutocracy.No. Worse. It’s a bloody gang. The thing is, and Americans are starting to realize this now, that while street gangs are violent, the Democrats and Republicans are worse. They are worse because their decisions affect your life. The LA street gangs don’t affect my life, but what the Democrats and Republicans do sure in hell does. Americans lost their net worth and saw their incomes decline since the financial crisis in 2008, but the rich “one percent” — as the Occupy Wall Streeters defined them — actually saw their net worth rise. That’s a fact. Earlier this year, Citi Private Bank and Knight Frank released their 2012 Wealth Report. Guess what? High net worth individuals around the world saw their net worth on average go up while the rest of the riff-raff saw their net worth go down. The SuperPACs and the Citizens United ruling that gives corporations a voice in the political process are all bad news. They made it so you can now lie and the politician being promoted on that lie will not be held responsible for it. I think that when Americans go to vote, states should not list what party the candidates are affiliated with. That would require voters to actually think and get to know a candidate instead of voting for their favorite gang. Oh, this guy is a Republican, so he must be good It’s laughable what they’ve turned elections into today where bribery is okay. If we lie to the government, we go to jail. If they lie to us, and they do it all the time, it’s not a problem. People used to believe that our better days were ahead of us as a nation, but I think that our better days are behind us. That’s sad. Research some guys such as Jesse Ventura, Gerald Celente no they are not insane they are portrayed to be crazy so that everyone is fearful of not being with the "trendy" parties the only thing that would solve this is a grassroots movement where the people truly have the say in who they want to be running our country.
