NO way it is going to change, only get progressively worse........We are a hair away from repeating the GILDED AGE the Republican Oligarchs and Corporations adored, along with a new set of ROBBER BARRONS..............

We passed the point of no return in 1980 with HWBush & Reagan and their destruction of the middle class in eight short years. Then "they" greatly accelerated it in 2000 with Cheney/Rumsfeld, and their FAKE Iraq War, and then "they" went to WARP Drive speed in 2016.......

Everyone in the bottom 99%, and especially our kids and grandkids are about to see our lives disappear out from under us all......

Some Frenchman? in the 1700's, as we were forming our Democracy had this to say:
"A Democracy will work until some individuals or groups of individuals figure out that they can vote themselves money"

The Republican top 1%ers and Republican owned/operated Corporations have flagrantly shown us, that they now own the best politicians that money can buy........"CITIZENS UNITED", in 2010 was the last step needed to roll out their full agenda........
