FWC: "Politics is about lying, cheating and stealing from the people who put them in office."

This sums up democracy, as it is practiced in America and India, no? What does it say about the habitual voters, especially those that have been voting for the past 30+ years mostly along the party line? It is hard to find a more widespread scam in the world than democracy. It has become the mother of myriad financial scams.

 

Comments (my highlights):

"America is slowly being bled dry by these blood sucking leeches! Politics is about lying, cheating and stealing from the people who put them in office. Since every politician does it and makes a career out of doing just that, it has become the norm. The system is spinning out of control because of NAFTA, but what does a politician know about trade. It's not their problem they just represent the lobbyists, not the people."

 

"Roosevelt who broke up the monopolies, during his presidency!

That is the kind of President we need. Since then the MOB has taken this country, and it controls the powers that be(Federal Reserve). The elite are the top 10% of earners on this planet and they own 93% of the world, as described in -'too big to fail' is killing the middle class- on yahoo tech ticker. They have countless minions at their disposal, breaking this countries checks and balances. Welcome to New World Order, good luck and God bless."

The "MOB" is what I call the Crooks. They have incorporated themselves into the system and are legit as far as the "rule of laws" is concerned because they control the lawmakers. Such an obvious scam but not for the blind faithful of the system. I don't count the top 10% as the elite; it is rather more like the top .01%. What ails America is the current econo-political system itself and not some of its details. It is no wonder that people like Warren Buffett, with blind faith in the American system, are totally clueless about the future.
