Yes I have had the same thought , tho I dont think it was planned in such a manner , I do see the obvious , that leaves Hillary as the practical choice (which I believe was the choice of the established oligarchs (both sides) all along) and yes agree the only way to stop it is Bernie Sanders. That at least has a chance of putting a stop to political dynasties in American politics.

 

Campaign finance reform , ending Citizens United , busting up Wall Street (financial oligarchs) are the only ways to begin to end the corruption that exists in the American system . Otherwise get used to your enslavement.

Trouble is, the president has no power there. He can make all the proposals he wants, but, it is congress that must pass the requisite laws, and guess what... They aren't going to want to cut off the hand that feeds them.

 

Nothing is going to change.

I think we're already used to it. We will get the boot of corrupt capitalism on our necks or we will get the boot of nepotistic socialism. No matter who gets into office we still have a boot on our necks. It is like a happy medium doesn't exist.

People hate on Trump, but he is talking about doing a few things he can actually fulfill as President. Stop the internal audits of the U.S. Treasury so we actually know how much true value money we have; as head of the Administrative he can do that. Reevaluate U.S. contributions to the IMF and have a real accounting of the trade outs and the interest; as head of the Administrative he can do that too. His plans to force the Chinese artificial infrastructure boom into a tail spin so they can't devalue the yuan on the open market might take Senate Committee action depending how how he went about it; but that is something else he can accomplish.

These things might seem unrelated until people look at the 'big picture' and Trump attempting to blow the lid off of globalism and the manipulation of currency. The other candidates aren't talking about that stuff.

Actually for campaign finance reform and citizens united you can have a states constitutional assembly and you dont need Congress for that . The Founding Fathers put a way in the Constitution itself for the States themselves to address the issues that Congress if they became too corrupt would be unable to address and having a President with executive authority can go a long way to begin the process . Once you get money out of politics it becomes much easier to deal with the other issues of corruption because the people who have been buying off Congress can no longer do so and those Congressmen become beholdin to the people who elected them , instead of the people who are buying them.

 

But I suppose you can always just lay down like a beaten dog , like those colonists did back in 1776.

Ah! I was barely out of diapers when the cowboy shows with the little towns in the old west had their day.

The train pulls into town. A candidate with red, white, and blue drapes hanging off the back of the train car railing above them. The call for all to listen to the hooting of wisdom from the young carpetbagger. His car filled with friends from the town that went to Washington, all come out at the trains stop in tieir home town. They join in calling for the people to vote, donate their pennies and dimes for the new president to help him win.

 

As the sun peaks on the western horizon all the people are cheering, shooting off rounds, and dancing behind the car. The candidate waves and hollers some profound words everyone will remember come voting day. They all cheer some more, Hail to the Chief music plays as the train starts rolling away. The townfolk wave madly at the candidate and their old friend on board.

 

The banker cries out, "THE BANKS BEEN ROBBED". The affect is sobering on even the old town drunk. The rally turns to a riot. The stone sober are first to gather up a torch, the trains picking up speed slow and steady. The crowds angered men jump in the saddle and take after the train with buckets of tar and feathers. Torches blazing, their horses racing, and their cries grow nearer to the back car.

 

The tar and feathering looks to be a happening for certain. The riders get nearer with hope blazing in their eyes. The lead rider is along side as the candidate and their friend from days of old look on, flames from the torches nearing the car flicker in their eyes. One cowpuncher reaches for the railing to swing on and charge the passengers on the train when off in the distance the train whistle is heard, like a steed putting out a champion noise and the train gains speed pulling out of the cowboys reach.

 

The candidate and the towns old friend cower down for safety until that moment arises that the trains out running the horse's. They seek the drunken mob sliding off in the distance, who shot up all their ammo at the rally.

 

The three men and a women in the door all wave, bye bye and smile big grins knowing the rest are inside counting all the banks money.

 

The lone rider up ahead of the train sees the lights, hears the hooves pounding the ground as the trains wheels say clickety clack. He points his long rifle up at the starlit sky, the moon white bone, and near as dry. The bandits all stand in their stirrups hooting and hollering.

 

The leader looks around, "Looks like another easy pickin's boys! Let's go get em!" They all pull up their bandana's ride to the tracks. Roll logs onto the track and they all sit back. Waiting on the sideliine to see if the engineer will stop or try t break through.

 

Either a bunch of crushed carpetbaggers will be wandering in shock in the dark, or a simple hand swap with them will occur when the train stops, the money will soon change hands either way.

 

Life must of been so much fun back then. :geek:

 

But I wouldn't bet on it. :laugh:

LOLOL.

 

Good luck with that. Money-in-politics reaches far, and the states are most certainly not immune. They suffer from the same problems that the national government does, just on a smaller scale. I think you REALLY underestimate the level of greed involved in politics today, regardless of at what level of government it exists. There is too much money to be made in the current circumstances for ANY of them to want to change it. Please note how often "campaign finance reform" bills are introduced, and never even make it out of committee.

So you choose to lay down like a beaten dog , what color would you like that leash to be.

I feel like I am being talked to in this post.

 

Succeed in making your own little patch of Heaven on Earth the way you want it. If it works well enough to get the rest of the people next doors attention; seeing it works they will follow by example.

 

Money goes where every we want to send it. All we have to do is spend it in the places where we want it to do what we think is best, and that is, we spend it before someone campaigns on our doorstep and tells us all our dreams will come true if they can have our money to buy what they want to spend it on.

You can look at it that way if ya like. Me? I choose not to beat up the greasy spot that used to be the dead horse. If you think you can change anything at all, feel free, more power to you. To me, it simply isn't worth the effort. I will spend my time in more worthwhile endeavors, doing something I enjoy. I leave the political activism to those that simply don't know any better.
