I can tell you, there isn't some vast conspiracy to "steal wealth" or what not. If there were I would have known about it. Believe me. I've met Presidents of corrupt countries, I know members of Congress, I have clients I can't divulge information about and there isn't any big "conspiracy" out there. Well, there may be, but not like what you're talking about. People are venal and petty and simple, and most like to think they're doing the right thing.

People in power on the right do not fight to try to help the rich get richer. They have a fundamental position that the world works best when the market decides who wins and who loses, because the alternative is having a government hack deciding it. They employ thousands upon thousands of people and help people who are less adept at things support families.

It doesn't always work ideally, but then again nothing does. Anything built by human hands is flawed.

As this applies to politics, anyone with a brain realizes that the only Republican candidate who can ever appeal to people outside the party, and thus stand even a nominal chance of winning, is Mitt Romney. Romney is moderate enough on social issues and fiscally conservative and will thus appeal to moderate and independent voters. Romney is no more or less "bought" than anyone else.

Perry is a pompous ass. Bachmann is an idiot and Palin is probably as retarded as her son. Obama is incompetent and inexperienced and never should have been President. Hillary is a ruthless politico who is sick of politics. Jeb Bush would probably make an outstanding President but his brother has made it nearly impossible for him to win. These are all simple truisms. There is nothing crazy about it. There is no impending socialist revolution because socialism has never worked, anywhere. Capitalism is flawed and any economic system is materialistic (there is a reason Marxists studied "dialectical materialism" ). If you're looking for a moral compass look to Christ, or the Buddha or someone like that.
