Dear Guest: Did you even read what I wrote? I grant you that lobbyist have only their self-interests at heart and that they work for political support but I question that it is all wrong and I question people who have a conditional knee jerk reaction to the term. Our government has gotten so large and so out of control that corporations are wise to stay close to the action.
Yes, root out cronyism and corruption but don't toss the baby out with the bathwater. If you want to rid the country of most lobbyist demand the federal government relinquish their control of states. Pure and simple states created the federal government the federal government did not create the states and therein lies the biggest concern of all. In that same vein it takes two to tango and a crooked lobbyist couldn't exist without crooked politicians
Capitalism is a complicated system not perfect but in the long run provides more opportunity for citizens. Would you rather a dictatorship, a caste system, etc?
Universities and colleges have for a number of years been pushing a socialist agenda, an anti-capitalism anti-national theme. Sanders followers actually believe what he is saying. social inequality, diversity has been the main theme and these kids have no idea what capitalism is and why while not perfect provides a better opportunity for them than any other economic system.
America's superiority is testament to a Republican form of government with a capitalist system that promotes productivity and pay for performance.
Sanders literally is saying rich people need to be punished for achieving. He says the system is rigged and his solution is to rig the system so that non-achievers reap rewards they never earned.
So if you are so inclined toward this form of government then you agree what's yours belongs to whom ever makes claim for the sake of equality of course?
Sanders is preaching pure bupkus. Hillary has now pivoted to the right in a desperation move to garner votes.
Finally people need to stop complaining and start taking responsibility for their lives no one person or organization owes them anything. It is amazing to me how we read of story after story of immigrants who come to America with nothing and yet size the opportunity capitalism affords and are not listed as millionaires. Apparently they found American streets are paved with gold
