Why are people so shocked that the US politicians not giving a f about the 99%?
If you think how they got elected you’ll see what it really is. They ask for donations to their campaigns and the rich give for promises of future returns on investment. They use that money to run on “woman rights” or “2nd amendment” gets into office and than start fund raising for their next election or their party.
Everyone should be more critical of their elected officials when they don’t keep their promises. We too divided to call them out on it or organize to demand changes. What we need is a new breed of leaders that isn’t in it for the money/power. And we all need to vote them into power and money. And hope that power and money doesn’t turn them into part of the problem.
