» Money in Politics is the Root Cause of America's Problems for 99% of Americans
Perhaps I should simply note here that, in response to your discussion here .. the root cause of the socioeconomic problems in America today .. are the result of money in politics.
Public opinion means nothing to most of our elected officials because our politicians are beholden to their donors.
You can read all the books you like about progressive vs conservative .. but until you get the money out of politics .. things are only going to get worse for Us the People.
AOC knows what I am talking about (21 March 2019).

Over the last 40 years we have had progressive presidents and we have had conservative presidents. And yet, the only constant is that .. (pause for effect) .. the rich get richer while the rest of us just work harder (more productively) for the same wages.
This is because we have a government that is of-the-Rich, by-the-Rich and for-the-Rich.
This is why the wealthiest have increased their share of wealth by 100% (doubled) in the last 40 years, and yet the average American has gone nowhere economically. They are just working harder for the same thing that they earned 40 years ago.
Why is that Steph? Why is America working great, socioeconomically, for the ultra rich .. but for nobody else?
