Is A Two Party System An Equal Opportunity For Rich Classes?

There is no doubt, the rich in the US were not all produced by using the same cookie-cutter.   Each class of the rich leaning towards the left has a counterpart leaning towards the right.  Each of these two political alliances employ their political candidates, whom they well know have a great need for money, to fill their political war-chests.  This then represents a symbiotic relationship kept alive by the self-preservation drive of each involved.  Each member of these alliances performs its obligations to achieve the expected return from the other; it is a perpetual cycle.

Now, one might ask where is all that money coming from that flows bidirectional?  The answer is very simple, the rich extract wealth from consumers by making as big a profit as legally possible for their investments, goods/and or services, while the politicians pave the way to make such outrageous net earnings possible, and legal.

The two party political system makes sure that no faction has their hand in the cookie jar indefinitely, and this is where we, the consumer, come into play.  Every four years we are given the opportunity to choose from which symbiotic alliance we want to be taken advantage of.  If that is not democracy in action, what is?

Under the Reagan years we heard a lot about trickle-down economics by his critics, who did not understand entirely that this is the way it works.  In order to get elected, politicians spend the money (political contributions) received from their benefactors, for advertising, and by promising, during political rallies, the crumbs the voters will get when in office.  It is a very frugal way to spend money because most promises are not kept anyway.  When one watches gluttons at dinner table, there are times when crumbs  hit the floor, and this is the time for the peasants to get their dinner.  This is the classical definition of trickle-down economics.  Get it?

It almost appears, our votes kind of legalize this unjust wealth extraction, at our expense.  On the good-side, during each election cycle we are entertained with political drama and accusation flying back and forth, keeping us occupied, and thus preventing us observing the sleight of the political hand at work.  To fully understand this issue better, let us look at two historical charts, which are self-explanatory.  The moral of the story is, "The rich get richer and the poor get..."

Again, pass it on, start a conversation with people you know and care about.  We need to spend less time watching what is fed to use via the media, and engage more in a dialog with people around us.  Politicians depend on us being dumb fat and happy; let us show them that we are not, by voicing our concerns.
