Any other American here see the ties that bind administrations for the last 40yrs?

Businesses want globalization, and both administrations have obliged. Money talks, not the ultimate well being of the average person. Bush has given tax cuts to business on the theory that they will plow these extra funds back into the US economy in the form of jobs. Yea, sure. They relocate operations overseas with no tax consequences; they take the money and run. After all the tax breaks and business the US government has given to Haliburton, they're relocating their HQ from Houston to Dubai. What we need are strict campaign finance which truly do limit contributions by wealthy individuals and corporate entities. That way, our politicians at least at the national level, will not so beholden to rich contributors.
