Yeah, your generation only handed the country over to corporations, you know, the ones you're complaining about all the time.

Oh bullsh*t, you bailed out the banks, you bailed out Wall St. Now you expect me to believe you're somehow going to fix the debt?

You're absolutely right, the policies set forth by your generation have ****ed this country. You really think continuing those same policies is going to solve the debt?

See, this is where you confuse me again. On one side you have the Goldwater wing saying we need to decrease spending. On the other side you have the Bush (Neocon/Socon) wing who don't give a **** about the spending. You seem to side with the Bush wing of the Republican party, which doesnt suprise me, seeing as how much water you've carried for Obama.

The same ****ing people have been in control for over 30 years, corporatists on both sides of the aisle. You want to let those people have full control again, no checks and balances? You make no sense.
