In my old age I am realizing politics is a bore.

16. It has little to do with which party has richer politicians

It has much more to do with who are on the top donor list of politicians. Even the rich candidates do not fully fund their own campaigns.

Spend some time googling donor lists, and you will discover that majority of campaign funds for MOST CAREER politicians come from large corporations or Billionaires/multi-millionaires.

The ONLY SOLUTION to this problem is to remove all private funding for election campaigns, and all elections be subsidized strictly from government funding.

Otherwise we are stuck with a form of government under which the vast working class will never be favored.

On further edit, I have never heard of this OP, or ever recall responding to his posts. But this post today struck a chord in my brain. And I am 78, too old to bother with Russians or any trolling groups.
