I appreciate the link Itsgrowtime. Nader & Paul only got about $40MM together while the donkey and elephant got over a BILLION $$. How can the "good"guys compete? My only criticism of the so called "good" guys is that they are not hungry enuff for the white house to double deal some of these big donors.
You're welcome for the link. Once you see the financials involved, things start to make a lot of sense. But I did have to disagree with your statement above. The "good guys" are not willing to compromise their principles and act as puppets for the banks and corporations in order to receive the big donors money. It's a catch-22. If they take the money then they are no longer the "good guys" because they are bought and paid for. Receiving donations from giant corporations that fund national election campaigns and governing in the interest of the people are mutually exclusive. A candidate simply can't do both these days. Government and business have gotten so intertwined (technically its fascism) that the People are left out and looked at only as a means to fund the government through taxes. This is why there won't be any change regarding cannabis. The corporations that own our government don't want it legalized, therefore it will not be legalized. .....or at least until those corporations have figured out how to completely control the cannabis market. That would be nearly impossible since it's so easy to grow. They want the control. If they can't have it then it will be illegal. Simple as that.
