We are lazy and just a little uninformed.

Bend over America. You have sat back in your EZ chairs for too long and your country has been sold and bought by the politicians and the banks. Any rule passed will be a watered down, "we're doing it for the people" bill that will have no other purpose than to give politicians a talking point about what they are doing to protect us while they and their owners screw us royally. I'm afraid the occupy movement is already too late. Short of a major revolution, I don't see it changing much. The banks and corporations cover their bets by contributing to BOTH parties, insuring that no matter what, they will have a friend in office. They keep us divided on silly, idiotic social issues while they rob us blind and slowly take our rights away from us. If the people don't rise up and take their country back this noble experiment of a government Of the People, By the People, and For the People will fall into history's trash can and become a memory as the rich and powerful consolidate their control of the planet, using our failure as an example of why the people need to be controlled.
I'm trying to figure out why the media, including the internet media haven't found it important enough to warn Americans that their old democracy has become a new plutocracy. How can citizen groups compete with lobbyists armed with 1/2 a billion dollars from financial institutions in campaign re-election funding for the professional politicians in our congress. It's the same losing battle against any other lobbyist groups. They own the congress of America. The politicians are not going to vote to lose their campaign funding. CAMPAIGN FUNDING WINS ELECTIONS IN OVER (100) % OF ELECTIONS.
The Democrats are bad and the Republicans are just pure evil.
