[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1342008, member: 46824"] Yes, I can't resist putting in another 2 cents... To me, a major component of why all parties at a national level no longer listen or care for the little people is the way that the campaigns are run. You have to have millions to run now. In order to have millions for the campaign, you need donations. The people with the money to donate is big business (whether you call it that or not, both sides get the majority of their money from there, Republicans is usually direct, while the democrats is more indirect, but it is still big business). If the politician gets elected, they are not going to do anything that might lose them the funding for the next election. In essence, they are nothing but puppets of big business policies. The only difference is whether the big business leader(s) lean left or right. Either way, you can be sure there will be nothing passed that they disagree with. What do they disagree with the most? Anything that hurts their profit % (anything that would help blue collar workers). Sound familiar? Yes the same thing a lot of us were bringing up, S. Davis's raise percentages over the last 6 years vs the union workers raise percentages. Different arena, same principle. [/QUOTE]
