The very truth of it is that the President of the United States and congress are owned by the same big money special interests that have controlled American politics for decades.
The same enemies of peace - as FDR put it in 1936 - business and financial monopolies, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering - are alive and thriving and consider the United States Government as a mere appendage to their own affairs. No one man - even if he is the President has the power to unhinge these parasitic entities.
Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
The President's reelection speech was emotionally jarring - as it was carefully crafted to be - but if the present is an indicator of the future - it seems likely to be one of more weapons proliferation, increased militarism on American soil, suppression of internet freedoms, and expanded federal powers.
Democracy is an antiquated idea and the repercussions of its faults are well represented in the inherently corrupt nature of the United States Government.
Do the 'millennials' have the fervor to throw off these shackles? Or have they already bought into the establishment's system?
