OBAMA'S LOOTING of AMERICA - The Detroit election

The Detroit election

WHILE BARACK OBAMA HAS TURNED OVER BILLIONS TO HIS CRIMINAL CRONY BANKSTERS, AND MUSLIM DICTATORS, HE HAS VOWED TO DO NOTHING FOR DETROIT... PERHAPS THERE ARE TOO MANY AMERICANS (LEGALS) LIVING THERE!!!


Yet a mere 18 percent of registered voters went to the polls. This mass abstention is an expression of the alienation of the working class from the entire political system. The vast majority of Detroiters believe that their votes count for nothing and that, whoever is elected, they will have no say in the policies of the government. In this belief, they are absolutely right.

This sentiment is shared by working people across the country. The threadbare trappings of democracy can no longer conceal the iron rule of a corporate-financial oligarchy. The pretense that there are significant differences between the two major parties is increasingly absurd, despite the demagogic efforts of President Obama and the Democratic Party to posture as defenders of the “middle class.” Particularly since the Wall Street crash of 2008, government at all levels—national, state and local, whether headed by Republicans or Democrats—has revealed itself to be the instrument of the richest one percent.
