Income disparity, a Congress controlled by who has the most money, a media that won't report the facts, and diverts attention from news that the public won't like with more important news like Kim Kardashian's latest tragedy (she has a zit somewhere).
The Democrats have done little about Citizens United, transparency in the elections process, public financing of elections, truth in advertising, fairness in the media, etc. All of these are essential to get the country back to where the founders intended: a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
I have to wonder why the Democrats aren't doing more.
They sure don't miss an opportunity to ask for donations from supporters. You'd almost think they don't care or realize that the majority of Americans are stretched to the limit financially right now. They could take steps to correct this, but so far they haven't done much.
How many more elections will be compromised due to voting machines that can't be checked for accuracy? (Voting machines that are largely under Republican control.) How many more elections will big money buy before it's enough?
We have over a decade of Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, supposedly the "job creators" of the country. Yet no jobs can be credited to the tax cuts. The Republicans haven't allowed any jobs bills to pass to create jobs. The facts prove this, yet many think our economy is Obama's, in part because the facts aren't being publicized.
It's pretty clear the Republicans now have exactly what they've always wanted, but time after time I see Boehner talking about the lack of new jobs, blaming it all on Obama, with no follow up discussing the jobs bills killed by Republicans in Congress.
