Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is
Saturday, November 6, 2010
And Bloomberg is no different.
Just about everyone who is in our political system got there by buying into the Corporatocracy. If they didn't (buy into it), they never could have gotten into office. And with the Citizens' United decision this year, they only become more entrenched.
Unless and until there is drastic and uncompromising change to our campaign financing system, until corporations are no longer 'persons' and are prohibited from participating in elections and politics, all efforts to reform government are useless.
Once campaigns are publicly financed, if they ever are, then reforming our system & returning the government to the People can begin. And that's when the work will really start. And there won't be any of these petty arguments, "If there really is any change", or "It's in the wrong direction."
When it's working, when we're back on course, EVERYONE will know it.
