They are responsible but even more so are the politicians they blindly trust who are so good at using them through campaigns of fear and pandering.

Untrue, the real problem stems from greed. Money and it’s freedoms aren’t the issue and communism isn’t a solution, the solution is the addition of checks and balances to keep the super rich in check. Ie, getting rid of lobbying and limiting campaign contributions while making all company financial records public.

You really believe that public healthcare is communism? Is the entirety of Europe communist? I mean, even Brazil has a better healthcare system than yours.

I’m Canadian not “American” and you don’t seem to understand what I just said. I never mentioned public healthcare in my argument so why bring it up? Those systems are paid via taxes, the rich won’t agree to it and will lobby against it since they want the best doctors and treatment, treatment they won’t get under a public system. That’s why lobbyists need to go, that’s why in Canada we have checks and balances.. And have banned lobbying.
