Does the almighty dollar really controll the minds of our congress and executive branch to the point that the standards of living in our nation take a back seat to their pandering to the special intrest of big buisness?

Look. It's government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich. Democrats are a little better, but do YOU know a poor politician? I don't know of any. Yes. $$$ rules the game. The BEST we can hope for is the Democrats to make it a little better. Short of a Ghandi/King type of revolution, that's the way it's going to be.

Yes it does. Congress is bought and sold by special interest. And yes, our standard of living is going down the toilet with govt. trade policies, outsourcing and in-sourcing jobs and all the rest of what they call "global" economy.

I think this society's leaders have their priorities of what life should be like for lower and middle classes backwards. Seems like they give little care to anything but their own greed driven agenda-I see little respect and much disregard.

Corporate greed is a spin off from personal greed and its destroying just about everything everywhere.
