The majority of yanks are in no financial situation to be voting for such capitalist parties... yet they do.

Own fault.
Wake up and smell the BS or drown in it.

Guppy poo!

It's because of the Baby Boomers. As a generation, they're terrible people. Spoiled, entitled, eternal adolescents, with cash-out refinances to buy boats, helping themselves to ever-larger shares of their children's earnings, impoverishing their kids so that they may live better. They should be euthanized.

Baby Boomers born in the late 40's to 50's are not the people that refinanced their homes every 5 years to make money, Baby Boomers are 60+ years old and have their homes long since paid off.
Blame the 30-40 ish crowd for that mess. Your description of the baby boomer's as being spoiled , entitled, and with no work ethic is more descriptive of your generation. Euthanize yourself.

Yeah that's why America is being overrun with people from all around the planet who desperately want to go there to escape the world of SUCK they have been living in.

Follow the money. Both sides of the aisle take huge sums of money from very rich people. Remember corporations are people according to the Supreme Court. Plus most of the media is owned by the super rich as well. Every empire sooner or later falls into decline. Unless the U.S. controls the influence of money on politics we are doomed. The influence of extreme fundamentalist Christian values, those who take scripture literally and do not believe in evolution, is also very detrimental.

Oh GOD please save me.
Corporations have been given the ability to own land, employ people, make contracts with others for goods and services, select agents on their behalf, but they are NOT "people" according to the Supreme Court, they are entities that are granted the ability to CONDUCT BUSINESS as a person would.

Soylent Green is people.

Thumbs up, but you left out our corrupt politicians.
