Quote: If you want true prosperity in the US again, you will begin by getting all money out of politics.
However laudable a goal that is, its already far too late for that to ever happen. The money IN politics is more than sufficient to make sure that it never happens. Sooner or later this particular cause will also be co-opted by the charlatans.
This only goes one way, and the result is inevitable. Half the voters last November, in one way or another, recognised the situation, and that is how we wound up with Trump, who, in all honesty, is nothing more than a speed bump on this country's toll road to ruin. Things will continue exactly as they are until they become intolerable for everyone not beholden to, and benefiting from, the criminal enterprise that we have allowed our government(s) to become. When that sinks into the minds of enough folks then all bets are off, and the "peaceful transition of power" that all the bullsh*t artists babble on about will be nothing more than a quaint fairy tale.
