Self-serving politics

Where do we find political “unity” in America? Where is the independent voice of reason for a nation torn apart by two self-serving political parties?

If the Democrats and Republicans truly cared about American citizens, they would not have allowed Wall Street to offshore more than 500,000 American businesses (nearly 70,000 of which are vital manufacturing facilities), along with the millions of irreplaceable Main Street jobs they represent, to communist China and other slave-labor countries so less than one percent of the nation could wallow in wealth; they would not have sent our children in uniform to bleed and die in endless, undeclared foreign wars that serve only to enrich the Wall Street merchants of death and their shareholders.

They would have secured our southern border to prevent untold millions-of-illegal aliens from invading the nation to take American jobs, depress wages, spread disease and fill our prisons; they would not continue to give billions-of-tax dollars in foreign aid to countries that despise the United States, many of whom are its avowed enemies; they would not have used trillions of taxpayer dollars to bail-out corporate America and the CEOs who gamed the economy into insolvency in 2008, without indicting, prosecuting or jailing a single one of them...
