But you seem to think there's no difference between the sides. That seems like more of a mantra you keep repeating to yourself, but it's pretty far from the truth. There's a huge difference in the parties, as evidenced by everything we've been watching unfold in the last couple of years. You have one idealogy based in selfishness, bigotry and lack of compassion -- and then the other side who basically wants the opposite.
You're painting all politicians with a big broad stroke that says they're all crooks. So there's guys on both sides who are in it for the money, but that doesn't make the entire game a fraud. There's people with ideas trying to get things done, and another side who wants to make sure rich people can get all the breaks they can get, and fuck everyone else.

This is the way I see it as well. I don't by any means think democrats are perfect, but they are the best choice when it comes to fairness to all tax payers.
When you listen to the Right it's always me,me,me.. I got mine fuck you. To me the most amazing part is how the right has managed to convince the bulk of their voting block, to vote against their own interest.
Sure I can get that someone making $150k a year or more would vote for less taxes. Totally understandable, but the bulk of the Rights voting block is not making $150k a year or even close. Back when I was in FL it was so freaking common to see some redneck trailer trash that was on welfare complaining about democrats giving people hands out.. Or someone making $20k a year voting for Republicans because they think they will pay less taxes.. It's like umm hello I'm going to slap you for being so fucking uninformed.
I'm actually going back to FL for a few months and honestly I really dread it. That state is like seeing vultures waiting for the cow to die. Everywhere you go it's fast cash payday loans, pawn shops, buy here pay here car lots , churches and gun stores. In Daytona there was even a place called "rent a wheel" that was like the furniture chain rent a center but for fucking car wheels.
