We Democrats are finding ourselves between a rock and a hard place.

and I blame much of it on the obvious conflict of interest between politicians and we average Americans.

Unfortunately the Party is now perceived by many as blatantly favoring the Fed, big money and Wall Street interests, and big donors instead of most Americans. The Democratic Party needs to replace opportunity for WS with opportunity for average Americans as their ONLY priority.

We Democrats must demand a change in policy where government puts the needs of average Americans unambiguously at the front of the line. They can't do that when billionaires control the agenda.

We must end all foreign aid regardless of country for starters. What Democratic leaders support ending ALL foreign aid to the Middle East in favor of helping Americans? Let me know when it happens.

I don't accept that those who have it all should be at the head of the no tax cut line. They need to pay more but they are the biggest donors to both Parties so politicians find a rationale why they should pay less.

The crux of it all is that too many of the CEO class and Wall Street rich fund both Parties but the priorities of the Democratic Party must be unambiguously for the people unless we want to lose everything. It's the only thing that will differentiate us. Bailing out Wall St and Goldman didn't.

Edited: Am I dyslectic because I don't the errors initially?

1. Interesting - no comments

while Americans by the millions lose everything, the Wall Street crowd succeeds with trillions, and Ds enthusiastically support it. Says to me much about the absurd direction of America.
