everyone is bought, see Obama's nomination of Pritzger as Commerce Sec eg, a woman who should have been investigated for her role in the Sub Prime Mortgage scandal, but who he calls one of 'our most accomplished businesswomen'. She has billions, that is all that matters now.

The question is that now that we can see it all so clearly, what can we do about it? Is it too late to save this country? Or will it just finally admit it is no longer a democracy and stop the pretense. It is full on Corporate State, with two classes, the middle class is all but gone, so we have the underpaid, and the obscenely wealthy who are busy desconstructing (see cuts to SS from DEMOCRAT) what used to be programs that benefited the people.

We get the government we deserve. We have people right here on this site excusing each step towards the destruction of the Middle Class and every other corporate decision coming out of DC mainly because a Dem is in the WH. They were clever, they knew they needed to get 'the left' on board, and they did it.
