Reply #5: Follow the money

[Ugnmoose]

The money will always tell you who controls whom. Take note of what companies and industries that are the big Republican donors. Take note of the people in government and what industries they came from.
Take note of the legislation geared to enrich the media (deregulation), the wealthy (tax bills), the defense contractors (war in Iraq), the energy industry (war in Iraq), the insurance companies (medicare bill). Please don't be naive. While I won't disagree with you that many people don't care. I would also argue that the reason they don't care is that they are blissfully ignorant. And one of the main reasons is that the little bit of news and information they get each day does nothing to educate them. Oh and by the way, for those of us who do vote, what confidence can we have in the voting system when we know that electronic voting can be rigged and there is no way of prove it.
