Reply #58: it is not a matter of "corruption" it is simply that "Government - including the Democratic Party

[Douglas Carpenter]

is the executive committee of the bourgeoisie. The political class including the Democratic Party - is part of how Wall Street -at least Wall Street euphemistically speakings executes its will. There is a reason why the Democratic Party started embracing right-wing economics which is the same reason why socialist and even communist parties in Europe started implementing pro-corporate policies. It is not necessarily a matter of corruption the way many people might use that term. It is simply that the power of moneyed interest simply outstrips the good intentions of politicians. This can only be changed when money is removed from politics.
