I'm assuming that with the large number of intelligent people who troll this forum (and don't lol, there are very intelligent people here - those who see the greatness that Captain America Stanzi really is), that somebody has mentioned how our country is a plutocracy with the appearance of a democracy to keep poor people from getting too riled up.
Corporations not only run our country, they run the world. With candidates no longer required to disclose where their campaigns receive money from, does that not raise a giant red flag about where the money comes from? When a corporation basically bankrolls your entire campaign, does that corporation not want you to return the favor when in office?
What is there to keep foreign interests from making large donations to candidates?
Our political system is f'd. Entirely f'd. And the people in charge are geniuses. They take the largest portion of our society and split them up over meaningless issues like birth control and the right to bear arms and religion instead of us uniting against what's really important in our country.

If you're making under $400k per year, you need to realize that you're no different than the cashier at Wal-Mart. Your $400k a year might as well be turds in a purse compared to the uber wealthy in this country.
