Robinhood must become our hero.

I don't know how it's gonna be done. But we have to take money out of American politics. Because it's the big-money interests that control our politicians. With money. The politicians are bought and paid for by rich people and rich corporations. They have a virtually unlimited pool of money. Poor people and the middle class have hardly a voice at all in the political realm. Maybe a whisper. The vast majority of Americans have been disenfranchised. By the oligarchs. We have an oligarchy/plutocracy in America. Don't believe the bull shit about a democracy. And the political system we have is corrupt to the core. And deeply entrenched. We common folk don't have a chance of effectively changing the system without a blood bath. On both sides of the spectrum. Eventually, we common folk are gonna have to stand up and fight. Live and die. For fairness. For a new political system. It may take several generations to bring about the necessary changes. A dramatic shift in moral attitudes and principles. We have to recognize money for what it is. Money. Used in evil ways. It's not free speech. Really, it's what oligarchs use to speak. To bribe. Money flows from their mouths. Not speech. Their mouths are their pocketbooks. And it's gonna take the making of a nation of many, many Robinhoods to change the system. Taking from the rich, especially the filthy rich, and giving to the poor and the less fortunate. Yes, Robinhood must become our hero. --Jim Broede
