Is It Time to Cut Our Losses?

In watching our so-called representatives, I think it's abundantly clear, they are not representing the majority of Americans.  What I don't understand, is how this obvious fact continues to divide the presumably united 98%.  If Americans are in agreement that the Big Corporate lobby controls Congress, then why does most of America remain politically divided?  Doesn't this just give the Big Corporate lobby more say in Congress, while Congress feathers their own nest further?

Since money talks in America why don't the non-1 Percenters speak with money, as well?  The absence thereof!  Why continue to wait for Congress to change things for the majority of Americans?  Over half of Congress is part of The 1 Percent, and they are lavished in benefits from representatives of fellow 1 Percenters!   What would motivate them to change a system that works so well for them?  Don't even suggest the electorate speaks for the people.  That is impossible to say with 98% supposedly unified on the issue of the economy.

The polls just keep reporting that the economy is the number 1 concern of Americans.  Obviously, there is a disconnect somewhere and I think "we the people" can change that if we choose.  If we continue to give money to Big Corporations to save a few pennies, the Big Corporations will keep taking our business and throw us just enough crumbs to maintain the status quo.

I notice a major difference between The 1 Percent and the 98%.  The 1 Percent doesn't throw good money after bad.  The 1 Percent invests in what they believe in and what brings them increase.  The 98% complains, while standing in the Big Box lines and while waiting on the Big Pharma generic, but complaining is all that happens.  Complaints do not cause change.

The only thing that is going to change this economic division of political theatre is for the true majority to put away our red / blue division and realize it is Capitol Hill that has established and will continue to maintain the Plutocracy that exists, and those who choose dependency upon the Big Corporations are actually funding the the aristocratic establishment.  Time to cut off their allowance!
