I think it was William Burroughs who said "Anybody who pays attention to politics is like the bull looking at the cape rather than the matador"
After 2000-2004 isn't it obvious that the people who run the country put in whoever they want, despite what the vote is (Electoral college, anyone?)
Who has the power here?
To be President you have to have $200 million bucks to spend. Only the richest people have it, and they don't spend it because
a) They can make much more money than a POTUS and
b) They can give it to him and make it back in spades and not have to take all that crap.
Who Holds the REal Power in this Country?
The people with the money, that's who. Not the relatively poor, powerless bums that run for office.
We need to concentrate on getting black billionaires and CEO's then we can hire our own President like the white folks do--
Preferably somebody white because most whites and negroes won't go for a black man in the posiiton--they might take Oprah Winfrey, though. |

Are ten percent of the billionaires black?
Last I heard there were reputedly two.
This is tokenism and they have no power. |

walmart and other corporations run america so that means they run the world, and china does too. black billionaires are just like white billionaires the only thing on their mind is not turning back into a millionaire. |

Unless people want to try and take over America and institute a socialist form of government, they need to adjust to Capitalism by sharpening their fangs in preparation for maneuevering through this dog-eat-dog world. Everybody can't be a "kingmaker" but you can control you own fiefdom and exploit your own serfs if you're smart enough. Otherwise just go on welfare, get a Section 8 rent subsidy, a "link" card for food, cast a vote to keep your corrupt alderman in office, and STFU. |
