The fact the Bush era wealthy tax cuts were brought back and signed by Obama was the final nail in the coffin if anyone had any doubts the rich are getting everything they want at the expense of the middle class and poor.
The Republicans want to cut programs to save money, what do they target, NPR, planned parenthood, heating oil for the poor, scholarships for poor students, lunch programs, etc..
Nobody is jumping at cutting spending on the massive military complex, lets hurt the middle class and poor even more at the benefit of the wealthy.
The US is more than ever now a plutocracy.

What do you expect when Obama spends something like 3/4 of a billion on his campaign and McCain spends something in the area of 5 or 6 hundred million. The biggest leg and the biggest path to power in American Politics is money.
Who do you think the biggest influences are on American politics?
Greed for lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen is good.
