Plutocracy

The politicians of both US political parties pay no attention to anyone but the richest 0.1% of the population who fund their campaigns. The behaviour of government including:

• Absurdly high military spending and endless pointless wars.
• Poverty.
• longer hours and lower wages.
• collapse of manufacturing.
• Health care that costs three times what people in other countries pay.
• Spying on everyone.
• No taxes for the rich. Heavy taxes for everyone else.
• Bailouts for corporations, but no help for people in hurricanes, floods etc.
• Heavy pollution.
• Nothing done about climate change.

are exactly the way these wealthy people want it. They are the greediest, most selfish, uncaring, short-sighted bastards on the planet. They are the last people who should be running things.
