The Political Donor Class

You're on your way to waking up to American politics. You had to lose your house, your car; your health is failing because you can't afford prescription medication; your kids graduated from college and moved back into your one bedroom apartment because they can't find work in the field in which they studied and they can't afford to pay off the school loans. The bridge outside of town collapsed but you can't drive anyway because the roads are so bad they damaged your car; you have to borrow more on your car title loan just so you don't lose your car after paying for repairs the last time.

Starting to wonder what's going on? It's all tied to politics. Didn't you vote? Where's your Reaganomics trickle-down?

Over the last 30 or 40 years, the only crop of public servants for whom we could vote were mostly supported by rich donors, Here's a quick way to discover who exactly is in the rich donor class.

Just go to http://finviz.com/insidertrading.ashx and look at latest Insider Trading list. You can also go to http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml and do a search for business boards of directors and owners. You can find out who owns television and radio stations by going to http://www.fccinfo.com/cmdpro.php?sz=L&wd=1366

Everybody else got buried in the Press. They were there, we were just never learned about them because they didn't get enough money to pay for publicity, until now. Bernie Sanders is turning the old model of politics on its head because he has the power of the Internet behind him.

The Smoke and Mirrors of Establishment Politics

The One Percent has manipulated us into thinking that there are left-wing and right-wing political structures, when the truth is perpendicular. We are told that the division between Republicans and Democrats is either Pro-Big Business or Pro-Big Government respectively.

False. Until the arrival of grass-roots political campaign support driven by the Internet grew to fruition with the Bernie Sanders campaign, the gatekeepers of American politics was, and still is mostly, the extremely expensive pricing of campaign advertising. Rich candidates still get the most votes because they can afford to advertise more.

It's about as legitimate as a charity raffle. Even if it's a worthy cause, you know the person who buys the most raffle tickets has the best chance of winning first prize. Because of this thinking, voter turnout has dwindled from hopelessness. This is what the Establishment was expecting for 2016 because they are ignoring Bernie Sanders at their own peril.

They are now so nervous about the 2016 primary exit poll results across the country that they they are refraining from doing future exit polls (See #ExitPollGate).

I was frustrated about which candidate to support until it dawned on me to use OpenSecrets.org to see which candidate was getting the most individual donations. You can look up your state and district to see who is officially running, how much money they have and from whom they received it.

Now I have evidence that tells me who are Establishment candidates and who are real grass-roots candidates that plan to serve the interests more people than just the rich donor class.

Blame The Poor



Market Watch
Article suggests that poor children are stupid. Poor children are deprived of the necessary information they need to ask the right questions and productively use the technology.

Bored Panda
This demonstration may seem oversimplified, but the metaphor will not be lost on the students when they learn more later.

Rich Habits
This article completely disregards the fact that many people simply can't afford such lifestyles as the 80/20 method because jobs are hard to find and the pay is simply too low.

The Washington Post
A more accurate portrayal than the previous article.


The Washington Post
Socially Engineered Economic Stratification
The One Percent has a reactive mentality to everything. It's part of what it means to be an American.

They choke off valuable intellectual resources from the poor and then they turn around and call the poor hopelessly lazy and stupid. It's part of the One Percents' Megalomania.
