Reply #4: Sorry, but it is NOT the republicans.

They are merely a symptom.

It is the corporatocracy - an oligarchy of corporate interests which single-mindedly pursue profit and never mind the loss of the middle-class, the American workforce, or the constitution.

There have always been conservatives and liberals, but the difference today is that there is an entrenched corporate elite that makes the 19th century robber barons look like monks.

Any solution that does not include taking on corporate power head on is no solution at all. The corporations own 70% of the republican party and 30% of the Democratic party, and unless we clean house and get rid of the noxious DLC influence we will make no headway against them.
