Its fundamental principle is convincing and illuminating. He argues that the division of "real America today is not between Democrats and Republicans but between the citizens and the average ...." Economic and financial elite If you are like me, you were appalled by the failure of our political discourse over the past 20 years, you have hostility and vitriol that the "debate" have been marked on political depressed you despair of the idea that the logical conclusion is that there is no "solution" to the end of the road for my team to win this game -..
