31. Apathy and so much more.
1. Apathy as J Turley suggests

2. Corruption of some sort with voter drives and when counting votes

3. More people in poverty/disenfranchisement, longer work hours to support a family. People can't keep their heads above water let alone become informed voters.

4. Mixing church/state with religious corporations grab of taxpayer $$$ to fund their pet projects and accumulate more zombies... they won't bite the hand that feeds them.

5. Corporate funding of elections & corporate lobbyists that promote legislation that serves only their shareholders.

6. Corporate media... ditto #5 above.

7. Miltary/Industrial complex... need I say more? We spend more on death than the rest of the world combined.


Yes, the nation has changed. The power is concentrated at the top and corporate facist's hands. Will any of the above change with Dems in power... of Congress and the Presidency? We need a hero. Truly... a hero.
