What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Voter fraud or a corrupt and anti-democratic electoral system?

 An evaluation or investigation into electoral fraud needs to begin with a class analysis of our electoral system which is passed off as being superior to socialist countries where the working class rules through its one Communist Party or other parties friendly to the working class.


Now, here in this country one class rules, too. 


This Wall Street ruling class uses two parties to maintain its dominance and rule over the working class to assure the capitalist system, a system based on exploitation of working people through capitalist ownership of the mines, mills, factories, banks (yes, the Internet and all media, too) along with the transportation and energy sectors.


How do you have “fair elections” when big money interests dominate the politics of the country?


That big money comes from very wealthy capitalists... we create their wealth and they use a lot of this wealth to dominate us working people who create this wealth for them.


And their two parties make the rules preventing a working class party from participating in this scheme of things passed off to us, and the rest of the world, as the world’s greatest bastion of democracy.


There is no voter fraud.


The corruption that does take place is capitalists cheating one another in the electoral process the same way they cheat one another in the market-place (yes, these capitalists love to talk about their “free-market” and “free elections,” don’t they...but, the problem is, huge powerful monopolies don’t really tolerate much freedom when it comes to either, do they?).


Both Wall Street parties hire “hacks” to run their parties just like they hire the management class to hire and fire and extract the greatest profits from our labor.


More often than not, we see the same management people we see at work manipulating both parties, too.


And, the party hacks and labor management people use the same methods employing racism and anti-Communism in the workplace and in the electoral arena to keep us divided so we are easier to rule as we are being exploited.


Anyone who delves into the way this rotten system works can easily see how three things comprise the formula for the glue that holds this system together:


Corruption.


Racism.


Anti-Communism.


Remove any one of these components integral to the capitalist system and the entire system collapses...


If it doesn’t collapse from its own boom and bust cycle first like the cars on a roller coaster ride leaving the track... as the stock market is about to do.


And then when one begins to analyze the highest stage of capitalism we are in, imperialism with its militarism and wars...


Well, you get the idea...


The Wall Street ruling class doesn’t want us to examine its system... 


And that is why Wall Street defends its two-party trap as the next best thing to sliced white bread.


The Wall Street ruling class would like it best if we not discuss capitalist class power versus working class power...


These Wall Street monopolists will not tolerate such discussion in the workplace or in the electoral arena.


This should give us a good idea what our employers mean by “democracy.” 


It’s really democracy for the few.
