That's on the american public. As long as all we're prepared to do is vote and then go back home to the couch to bitch, whine, caterwaul, and wail, here we shall remain, the system is fine with all that. We will see no change until we are prepared to alter what we do. The system was never set up to really give a voice to the unsubstantial people in their own governance. We can blame politicians or the "other" party forever, won't alter anything at all.
Indeed.
And that system is corporatism.
And corporatism is bad for both sides.
To your first sentence, agreed. To your second, no, it's great for the political class, bad for the masses, and they'd do well to figure that out.
By both sides, I meant both sides of the voting population.
Corporatism is basically modern elitism. And it is only good for the elites fortunate enough to benefit, and to the corrupt officials taking the bribes.
Corporatism has been extracting the wealth from the middle class since the 70's...with increasing methods to do so.
Yup, indeed. As the founders intended.
