(11,304 posts)husband that I think that our parents who were from the greatest generation would be ashamed of our leaders today. I mean look at the leaders back then in both parties. JFK and Dole, Bush Sr. all fought in WWII got wounded or their plane was shot down. They did their jobs and came home and went on into politics. Todays leaders are bought and paid for by corporations. They don't give a damn about the middle class or working poor. You get guys like Corker saying today that little people will get hurt by congress sometimes. Well these aren't leaders I want in congress today. They ALL think about reelection and they get nothing done period. It would be nice for them to have a opinion and for them to put country before party. I don't see it. Yes Matt Damon is right when he says "it's rigged". We the people in both parties are losing to the extreme right. It seems so hopeless. Something has got to give. The left and the right need to march on Washington.
