I certainly agree that we ordinary folks are being ripped off continually by the 1%, but how do we fix that? I would say we need to deny those people the "right" to rip us off. Now, which group, liberals or conservatives, are more interested in doing that? And yes, I also realize that with the corruption that is almost guaranteed with the unlimited money now allowed in political campaigns, many Democrats are also beholden to the oligarchs, but I still think they are more likely to pass legislation that will at least make it more difficult for them to take advantage of us.

It seems to me that a lot of conservatives are concerned about protecting the "rights" of the 1% by keeping their taxes low, making it easier for them to keep their money in other countries, and not to have to worry about regulations that force them to treat their employees decently, not pollute the environment, not deny the pensions that they promised to those employees, etc.

Then we can move to the part where the government, from cradle to grave amasses, as much data on us as they possibly can, mostly without our permission.

The NSA has accessed our personal data.

The IRS can shoot first and ask questions later with our bank accounts if they think we owe them money.

We can be stopped at blanket checkpoints by the police.

All the above in complete violation of the 4th amendment.

The EPA can regulate our industry out of existence without representation or oversight.

The DOE can fill our children's heads with all kinds of s**t that has nothing to do with the three Rs.

Our right to buy, sell, own a business and make a living has been usurped by the government who's main desire is to squeeze us for money.

I could go on for days. Ike is being obtuse. That's why I replied to you rather than him.

The five justices who have empowered corporations and individuals to spend unlimited amounts to buy our e******ns are all far to the right f*****ts busy o*******wing our constitution and our democracy. Oddly enough, the five are Catholics who also just v**ed to allow anti-a******nists to scream and curse at women at the door of clinics. They struck down the thirty foot from door rule as interfering with freedom of speech!

The other four justices, one Catholic, three Jewish are all liberal. Justices can be impeached for behavior that violates their role as fair minded justices, such a being part of a specific right or left wing party. The law on this will need research.

Impeachment, whether it succeeds or not, will cause these power mad five to consider their own vulnerability. We must a;sp be aware tjat the upcoming e******n will test the power of the rich to dictate the congress and give both houses to the Republicans.
