The wealthy corporate elites were never held accountable

Last edited Mon Dec 12, 2016, 01:43 PM - Edit history (1)

Reagan Iran/Contra.
Bush war crimes family.
Wall St./Goldman Sachs.

On down the line.

This has led to where we are now.
No accountability. Lawlessness.
They have been empowered and they will now use it to the full extent.

I never want to hear from Democrats, "impeachment is off the table" nor do I ever want to see Wall St rewarded with a cabinet position under a future Democratic President...if we ever get one in this bleak future.

Had the Nation went forward with the full Impeachment of Nixon,today's Politics would being the difference of night and day. Pelosi and Hoyer dropped the ball with Bush and Cheney,and as a reward,they now have Trump. And if anyone sees this differently,please tell. Many of us knew Reid and his Crew would not touch it.

Remember. He got out of prison early after robbing people out of billions of dollars. A poor man steals a loaf of bread and goes to prison longer than him. So much for equal justice.

So many stories about hungry people taking a candy bar only to be sent to prison for most of their lives. Once you are in the Criminal Justice System,it never ends well.

in order for me to support them in a primary.

Infuriating that Obama did not appoint a Democrat to lead the FBI.

C-levels don't live in the same world as 99% of us. They like it that way.
