Actually, this is the killer graph: 92% of Americans implicitly want a more left-wing country...

Gov. Scott Walker and "David Koch" are working hard to keep it that way.

92% of Americans implicitly want a more left-wing country... Yeah they say it, but they never vote the way to make it happen...instead they put douchebags in charge that make it even more equitable.

We all want the same solution, it's just that they don't get that what they are voting for isn't the solution, but rather the problem.

To be fair, they're convinced to vote against their best interests, often through lies and scare tactics. Should they know better? Absolutely. But it's not like they're saying "Fuck that thing I support!"

I wish there was a similar graph for South Africa. It is depressing how blatant lies, impossible promises and scare tactics work to sway the people who are most abused by the ones at the top. We see it quite painfully every election in SA.

Democrats just need to suck less. They need to build a liberal media, to oppose the conservative media, and then to destroy it's effectiveness. Americans deserve to hear honest, intelligent voices (ie, liberals) on television, not just crazy/dishonest/idiot conservatives. Allowing liberals on TV would be a start to a battle designed to translate the near-total liberalism on the part of Americans into liberal policy.

Wow. If trickle down actually worked than why is the wealth concentrated on top increasing? and 25 private jets? Do you know how much fuel would be consumed by those? All the pollution and wasted resources just because some rich asshole can't even be in a first class commercial airliner.

Fairly typical for asshole rich people. Now that they got their billions, they're seeing to it that nobody can ever make it like they did. Makes me want to rage for sure, but what would that accomplish?

I drive my father's 2003 Dodge minivan, live in a house with no bathroom sink, have to sit on furniture that's falling apart, and I'm missing celing tiles in my room. We don't even have a flat screen tv, it's an old school wooden box tv. But I'm probably a better person to be around than Rush Limbaugh.
