42. Take a close look at what's going on around you.
Can you honestly say that wall street isn't married to washington? Seriously, I am not trying to be sarcastic. Can you look at the policies coming out of washington and say that it is not mostly to the benefit of wall street and main street along with the general public can be damned?

Once you come to the conclusion wall street is indeed running the show in washington, how can you continue to support it? If I am a wolf and I put on a sheep costume, does that magically make me a sheep? No of course not. I am a wolf in sheep's clothing. So what makes you think people in congress, in the white house or in the supreme court who do wall street's bidding are nothing other than wall streeters regardless of what stripe clothing they put on? C'mon man use your sense, you're a democrat for gawd sakes. Stop falling for the hype.

And NO we don't have to go along with it. Going along with it, a.k.a. voting for the lesser of two evils, has been an epic failure. Does the wage gap continue to increase or has it at all decreased? Can two or even three incomes provide a family today what one income provided fifty or sixty years ago? Has wars for wall street profiteering ceased? Does the rest of the world continue to admire the US or has our image continued to decline? Do you actually think all these wall street so-called dems have been a vanguard of democratic values and principles? Again, take a good look around you. Its the very definition of insanity to continue with a failed policy thinking you're gonna get different results.

Again, stop voting for wall streeters. Black list anybody who's not a democrat by their actions. Only vote for democrats who act ONLY as democrats and see how fast REAL change happens. This business as usual crap is killing us - literally.

Now for a little video refresher on this point, please view these two very short clips: Thanks:
