Right now, I see the wealthy living off the poor, and the biggest companies squandering the chance of any little company to have a start-up due to favorable laws they purchase in their favor, and corporations owning our political process start to finish. I see the taxpayer no longer having any voice in Washington as they don't contribute big bucks, and now they no longer have a voice in electing their representatives due to Citizens United.

We live in a plutocracy. Not a democracy. And I want our democracy back.
Stop it, from what your voluminous run-on political posts, it is obvious that you don't want people to have the chance to work hard and get wealthy. What you really want a communist society where the wealth is spread equally, the incentive to work hard and make something of yourself is taken away, and the limits of what you can do is controlled by government. You want the so called rich to pay usurious tax rates which take away the incentive for people to work hard, make money, create jobs and stimulate the economy. Instead, you want anyone who tries to make money to pay a penalty to those that sit on their a$$ waiting for the government to take care of them.

The hypocrite you are makes your nonsensical rants on the computers and technology made by those big corporations that you despise. Funny that people from all over the world are still rushing to come to this "plutocracy" that you claim it is to have the opportunity to have no limits on what wealth can come to them with hard work and the opportunities that this country presents. Thank god your philosophies will be going in history on par with Jimmy Carter come the end of the year.
