11. Only because WE let them,

....and have forgotten that it is OUR job to hold our "Democrats" accountable.
When they campaign as "the workingman's friend" and then vote to bailout the CEOs, Toss aside "Regulation" that our fathers and grandfathers fought & died for, and vote FOR MORE "Free Trade",
WE need to Call THEM out and Hold THEM accountable for their betrayal.

Politicians in the rest of the civilized World FEAR their electorate.
In the USA, our elected officials LAUGH at us for falling for the SAME scams over & over again.
