This is what's wrong with our government


The wealthy and corporations have rigged the economic and business factors for themselves--and heavily so.

This is also why the Republicans and Right Wing want to kill the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (the CPB), the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), because they repeatedly unmask these situations:



Work to kill campaign contributions, folks.



First, it's the only way we'll get the government back for the people. Until we kill campaign contributions, we'll never get the big, ugly, corrupting money out of our election syatem and our government.

Second and finally, it has to come from us, the people. If it doesn't, it will never happen.

You might want to watch the full special on your local PBS channel or online at www.pbs.org. Kansas' own Koch brothers figure rather prominently in the special and in this building, too, not surprsingly since they are two of the most wealthy people in the nation. They threw something in about David Koch being a fairly despicable cheapskate, too, for a humor factor, to me, anyway.
