@aral It wasn't always this bad. It was bad, yes, but not THIS BAD.We let the oligarchs take over when we de-regulated and effectively un-taxed the rich and large corporate entities in exchange for the promise of jobs. The focus was never jobs. That's not capitalism's goal. Money is.I keep saying that we can fix most of the issues we're having as a society through legislation, but instead we worship at the feet of the oligarch, the same thing we have done over and over again.
