Politics

My new policy henceforth will be to vote against any incumbent in every election regardless of party...I do not see any other way to break the influence of lobbyists, although if the elections themselves are rigged even that may not help... A second jobless recovery/expansion seems to be occurring, similar to the last ten years... Big business does not care because their money will be made overseas, and politicians do not care because it is all one big happy,exclusive and wealthy club. This accelerating corruption between government and big business makes me thankful that the average person still owns guns-which is an unexpected thing for a pacifist to admit. Not sure where this will all lead, because most of us are still getting fat, but surely the excesses and disparities between the rich and powerful and the average person cannot be healthy for a democracy?
