Don't even ask me how
That's what they are really. They've sold their souls, and used the 2008 crisis to line their pockets with gold using the federal reserve. They've pumped trillions to get Wall Street and the banks stable, and regular Americans had to eat the crumbs. The market had reached all time highs again, but most people didn't even feel it. They paid for it through 3 rounds of quantitative easing though, and Operation Twist.
However, they got all of the kickbacks, while the GOP got more, because the neoliberal banking kabal knows that the GOP base is filly brainwashed and will support more loopholes, subsidies, and kickbacks. It's a fight that cannot be won if we become as blind as the GOP's base is, but we're treating this like a sports event, instead of where our working tax dollars are actually going.
When you understand how oligarchy works, you'd understand that we're already one. Obama has built it, and Hillary is here to open it for business, and once formed, there is no easy way to get rid of it. The threat is real. They control the media, your treasury, your paycheck, and anything you put in the banks. People claim to want to put their money in mattresses. Well, since the 4th Amendment is null, they can come into your house and get into that mattress too. You really think your house can't be X-ray'd with a drone??
We have to call for vetting the people what work in our government and call out corruption, even if it hurts our party. They must be held into account, while there's still moral judges. They're decreasing rapidly too.
