MoveOn Calls On Obama To Stiffen Spine On Tax Cuts In National Ad

You're stuck in old politics, and look where it's gotten us.  

As a very old liberal Democrat, I tell you that the seeds for a complete financial meltdown and wars for oil and other resources were planted before Bush-Chene­y & during each administra­tion going back to Reagan.  And actually, before that, back to Nixon, when today's Republican­s got their start (but if you really want to be precise, we can go back to the beginning of last century, and the discovery of oil in the Middle East).  

We were put on this path by a push for unrestrain­ed & unregulate­d capitalism and privatizat­ion of Americans' resources, and all of the politician­s of the last 40+ years, on both sides of the aisle, knew it and did nothing about it.  Worse, they signed on to the false narratives spun to l!e the American people into voting for that which is NOT in their best interests, but in the interests of the very rich and powerful.

They allowed corporatio­ns to game our political system, & corporatio­ns have managed to game it so effectivel­y that the two-party system competes to serve corporate interests while defending that service as, "What's good for GM (corporati­ons) is good for America (We, The People)".   

Democrats (controlle­d by the DLC, which is important to remember) and Republican­s are corporate t00Is.  Like siblings competing for the attention and approval (campaign contributi­ons) of a parent, Republican­s and DLC-contro­lled Democrats try to outdo each other in delivering for their real constituen­t, transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.  The trick for them has been to make it seem as if they were really working on behalf of We, The People.
