Presidential Candidates And The Change You should Not Believe In From Politicians

A presidential candidate talked at a town hall meeting. The candidate said she was opposed to crony capitalism. She then criticized the federal government. Not a word about corporations and crony capitalism.The federal government is a politically acceptable preferred target, not the private sector. Simply put, the government is bad, and the private sector near flawless( except for those areas of the private sector that are not part of the politicians special interests). Why do all these candidates, democratic or republican, berate the very government that they so desperately want to lead or become a part of? One after another will insist they are running to change the government. For how long have we listened to their claims of change that we are told we should believe in? What motivates presidential candidates and other politicians? The power? The status? The huge sums of money that many of them make from holding public office, especially after they leave office? It would be nice if for a change someone pinned done candidates to be very clear and specific regarding what they claim to do. Crony capitalism, candidate? Then tell us plainly what you plan on doing to stop it. Tell us what you mean by crony capitalism instead of using a cliche criticism of the government. To another candidate, you say you will bring the jobs back from China. It sounds great. So tell us how this will be accomplished beyond the rhetoric. Did you do anything the past number of decades when American corporations moved their industrial capacities, their jobs, their adherence to U.S. environmental and labor laws, and presented this huge gift to China? We have for too long become numbed by endless advertising, slick slogans, clever marketing by slicksters from both political parties. Problem is, we believe the bullsh-t we are fed.
