Who do you support for the Democratic nomination?

Doesn't matter what wing I vote for, what nominee I vote for. At the end of the day you're just hiring a spokesman to give speeches and pass senseless lasws designed to keep us the working class slaves for the elite.

You want a true democracy where the peoples voices counts then quit hiring one man to make decisions that affect billions....the concept just sounds absurd to me. Our Govt. structure is so skewed it's unbelievable that people think they will start seeing change because I voted for "this guy" or "that guy"......I guess I'm just not a follower of the masses, I like to think for myself, live my life to my standards, not standards set forth in the interests of corporate America.

-In the US we have "Medicare tax" , and as President Obama informed everyone, "Medicare is a ticking time bomb".

-In the US we have "Social Security tax" that was looted for other programs and just IOUs are left.

-In the US we have "Income tax" which didn't even exist until early 1900s, and even with all this new revenue, they blew through an additional 18 trillion+ dollars in borrowed money, presently.

-Locally, we have a "gas tax" that I found out was diverted to the schools. So, the road workers want more now.

-Locally, the cities keep asking for more , for new police stations, new court houses , to add fire/police ... this is like a game the cities play and hope they wear you down. In the city I live in, the city paid a consultant to advise them on how to get tax increases through - despite the voters rejecting it twice before.

Taxing doesn't work, because greedy people will find a way to get their hands on that money.

20 years from now, taxes will be much higher, all the social problems will be perceived as worse, and the rich will be richer.

I think the U.S. will suffer a devastating depression before 20 years has passed. We didn't fix any of the problems that caused the last recession, our money is backed by nothing, we're borrowing astronomical amounts from other countries, wages are stagnant while the cost of living rises, and people don't trust the government or each other anymore. We know what causes communism to fail, now we'll watch capitalism implode.
