This is very true. The theater that we see is no more then "reality" TV or pro-wrestling in suits. A complete distraction from the people who really wield power.
Yep. That's why all the billionaires finance these Marxist's campaigns.... so that all their money will be confiscated to buy the lazy and unemployable a bunch of free goodies.
The honest Socialists who really understand the system will admit that it's merely the most efficient way to control the masses by making them dependent on the table scraps of the very few elite. The unwashed "occupy" types honestly believe that Bernie/Hillary will actually confiscate all of Warren Buffet's wealth and shower them with free gifts..... I'm not sure who is more frightening, but rest assured, the really wealthy people have never, do not now, nor will ever pay any real taxes. The graduated income tax is primarily about social engineering and the whole collection/extortion system is largely just about data mining.
"Free" food, housing, clothes, "education", medicine, and old age care isn't "freedom" it is dependency. Hay and a barn for human shaped cattle.
Enjoy the show but remember it's for entertainment purposes only. If your vote made a difference do you really think you'd be allowed to do it?
