Si...I think that analysis is too simple, Anonymous. Since the early 1970s both major American political parties have been moving away from programs to help the poor—one faster than the other. Our current system, with political spending judicially equated with political speech, gives even more power and voice to people with resources than before, and less to people without.J. L.

Both parties are against people who try to work and earn an honest living (and that goes whether your job is-or was-programming computers or mopping floors).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-64598814990711262532011-12-06T22:54:27.968-05:002011-12-06T22:54:27.968-05:00I do agree Mr. Bell. :) I'm not saying one sho...I do agree Mr. Bell. :) I'm not saying one shouldn't get involved in politics.<br /><br />It was just depressing to pop in for my Oz fix to read something political.<br /><br />I agree that democrats and republicans both as people have some solutions, but when it comes to our government I think the future looks bleak on both sides since most people seem to have some sort of personal agenda and get so angry at everyone else.<br /><br />I also didn't mean any disrespect to the blogger with my comment.saintfighteraquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195760262262189059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-56497520482715582962011-12-06T22:48:12.041-05:002011-12-06T22:48:12.041-05:00Having political responsibilities is one price of ...Having political responsibilities is one price of living in a democracy.<br /><br />And I think the Democrats have a lot of real solutions.

Politics.<br />I can't stand democrats or republicans these days.<br />So much bickering and finger pointing.<br />Until a candidate steps up that has real solutions and doesn't care about catering to a "party" then I support none of them.<br /><br />It's your blog, but it makes me sad to pop in to read about Oz to find more politics....is there no where safe?saintfighteraquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195760262262189059noreply@blogger.com
