No we didn't vote them into power. We cast our vote and then the electorial college votes for whoever they want to vote for. One electoriate had actually pubically announced that his vote was for sale. He even named a price. It doesn't matter who we vote for the people with the money to pay for the votes are the ones that receive them. Al Gore won the popular vote but the electoriate voted in Bush
N A F T A the free trade act shipped most manufacturing jobs where? China, now we have contaminates in our pet food, lead in our kids toys and god knows what else that we havn't discovered. This was all in favor of money. What a wonderful plan it was too.
Bush is in oil, since he became president the price of oil is up over $100 per barrel. Cheney was pres of Haliburton, who got all the no bid contracts to rebuild Iraq. They are both making bank over choices they made that the rest of us have no choice but to ride out.
Are you noticing the money trail here? Weed is illegal because people in government were also in big business and the weed threatened their business. DuPont and the Hearst newpaper empire are 2 of the biggest contibuters to weed being illegal. Now that wasn't an accident. I'm sure some money changed hands.
If you think anything in our government isn't directly related to someone in government making an extra buck you are so blind. Our government was designed to protect us but it has gone severly wrong. We live in a capitolist society. Our capitolist country is going downhill so fast that it is actually making a whistling sound.
