It's not a coincidence. And, explain to me how we can't afford to spend 10% of our tax dollars on fixing our health care disaster but we can afford more than 50% for the military. Something stinks!

Big money corporations own over 90% of talk radio, almost 100% of local newspapers (Ganet), and almost 100% of television. You read and hear about headline stories about millions of tea bagger marches (which turns out to be less that 20, 000) but never hear about the hundreds of thousands who march against the war or against many of the non-corporate interests. How can we unite without a media and how do we acquire one? If we don’t have a media, there’s no way Americans can fix this.

Yes, the founding of this country was a struggle between liberals and conservatives. But neither Locke or Paine won outright. The country was a middle ground, well sort of. Yes, Reagan (who I voted for and genuinely believed was a good president until I opened my eyes) was a big part of today's disaster with his war against the unions and basically against the middle class. But, you have to admit, Clinton did nothing to bust up the too-big-to-fail behemoths. In fact, he strengthened corporate power exponentially by opening the NAFTA Pandora's box. And, what, exactly has Obama done for us in this regard? What is he doing to limit the undue power of money and corporations in our government? Nothing. At least nothing yet. He keeps whispering that some day if the wind is blowing just right, he might start regulating the banks, but as far as I'm concerned, this is too little too late. It's time to get serious about this. By next election (THIS YEAR FOLKS!) our politicians will be wholly bought and owned by money and short of a bloody revolution, there'll be nothing we can do to correct it. Time to act is now. Tell all your friends how important this is TODAY! Anon, I only wish you were right. Yes, the founding of this country was a struggle between liberals and conservatives.

Fascism. And, yes, this is a political issue. The republican have gotten us here. If Americans would just open their eyes. This is the same argument that was being waged during the debates over the founding of this country. Fortunately for us, the conservatives were out voted, liberals won, and the country was created for the "people". This is just like Mussolini’s merging of corporations and state. Fascism.
