I guess to me the real problem plainly put is the problem of money really the be all and end all of policy making. Governments more than ever increasingly support private enterprise and never legislate for the good of all. It problems extend to, at best, inaction with environmental, human rights, foreign policy, health and education reform. What depresses me is many know about it, the Problems can be stated as fact, and their is no substantial improvement. In fact the opposite is true, the problems only get worse.
If I am wrong please correct me. I did enjoy the photoshopped classics comments. Again sorry if anyone thought my comment disparaging. I only mean to comment on the human ability to disconnect from certain issues that are overridingly important and be relaxed enough to enjoy the other things in life. I saw something about this recently, some psychological capacity to be able to function in this way. I think I'll go look for it to post.

The problem of "money" is one that is universally accepted but at the same time, little to nothing is done about. It's the one thing both right, left-- OWS and the TP agree on (in rhetoric) But the powers that be know the electorate are like moths to flame and they shine their flashlights like lures on things like "taxes" or "abortion", anything to avoid eliminating the influence of money in our polital system.
Neither party wants that.
