I still think my overall point is being missed, you can vote for either one and nothing will change. The money system will still be subjected to hyperinflation because the federal reserve's answer to every problem is print more money. National debt will continue to skyrocket at an exponential rate. I saw Obama tell one of his former supporters who questioned him at a town hall meeting about his failing economic policies, that its her fault the country is in bad shape because she didnt run out and get a credit card. Solve debt by getting in deeper, CLOWN.
Adding to the money problem is multiple wars and foreign aid. An illegal occupation of the sovereign Iraqi nation, which was one of the policies our current commander stood against and the proposed invasion of another country if the republicans get their way. The no end in site occupation of Afghanistan which was declared legally but since bin laden is supposedly dead, mission accomplished but we're still there. That is what we went for right? And then we give Israel 2 Billion in defense spending every year to turn around and spy on us.
The failed war on drugs will continue without question (which I hope nobody on here will try to debate and thats a huge topic in itself). Health care quality will continue to decrease. Government officials will commit crimes and be allowed to walk away without punishment, thats if they're caught doing so. Wall Street will still have free reign to loss/steal billions from people's retirement accounts on really bad insider trading schemes and only having to plea the fifth in front of congress, but that doesn't even happen anymore. Then they get a check from government thats pocketed by the CEOs signed by any american who works a legal job and pays their illegal taxes. Jobs going overseas, losing individual rights, homelessness of veterans and people illegally on disability, police killings of minorities without in depth questioning. And the list goes on and on for whats a real issue.
This is what Carlin meant when said that people today are truly not capable of critical thinking. They believe what anybody will tell them without referencing any information. Instead they are lead to single issue voting like gay marriage or acceptance in the military, abortion, or the empty promise of legalization of not just cannabis but all drugs, a belief of the libertarians. Sad truth is the government shouldn't have a say so in any of those fields of current political debate. Everything on that list comes down to personal choice. It harms nobody else unless you're homophobic or a religious nut and thats a personal problem. And many more field of single issue voting like gun rights. Or animal rights, or environmental issues and the list can go on and on. Or the greatest one of all, the almighty race card.
So again, I say fuck voting. Sorry for thread jacking but it annoys me when somebody implies because I don't vote, I have no right to complain. I pay fucking taxes, so I have every right to bitch about it.
