  1. I have to laugh at the fact that America is so GD perfect. We've had political liars, crooks and con men, since the country began. It's never been this perfect world it wants to portray. I mean come on. Slavery of blacks, Chinese and other immigrants over many many years. We even killed and stole land from the native Americans so they could have not just land, but the best land. We have native animals such as the buffalo, slaughtered by the thousands, so we could bring in cows and sheep, domestic animals, just to make it easier to raise them, why? Capitalism. I'm not saying America is the only people's that take what they want, in the name of the all mighty dollar. But come on, we're definitely not saints. And as population grows, so does the amount of people with money, working to take advantage of others for their own interests. And you are so right. Propaganda runs rampant in the US, almost as bad as countries we call, authoritarian or a dictatorship. Think about it. For many, many years, the difference between rich and poor was minor. Now the monetary difference between rich and poor or middle income is sooo far apart, it's insane.

  2. It's not rocket science. We have people here with lots of money that want things to be the way they want. America is an experiment in government, and these money people want to change that. So they use their money to buy loyalty from certain politicians. Offering a couple of million to a civil servant to pay his or her campaign needs, to get reelected, keeping those funds coming. It's all money.
