From the picture posted by dredge, I doubt you will disagree with me that companies like Harvard Uni, M$, and Google have a completely different financial stance than that of B.O.A, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. Bill Gates has said that he should be paying more taxes even after he donated billions of dollars to charities. I am sure we all heard about the big financial scandal that Goldman Sachs did, but what big financial scandal has Harvard U. done? How can you not see the dichotomy between the two sides?

Now correct me if I am wrong, but the basis of your argument is that since both parties received the most money from entities with larger disposable income, they are in bed with their campaign backers and answer to them. Now, I am going to ignore the giant leap in conclusive reasoning and instead offer a counter. Could it be that those big corporations backed the parties because they like their fiscal stances? This would then lead to the whole thing just receiving money for doing a good job.

Wow, already this thread has turned into a libertarian conspiracy theorist circle jerk.

Don't bother arguing with libertarians. Just laugh at them as they marginalize themselves into irrelevance. It's a childish worldview which allows a follower to whine about the state of things without ever really taking any meaningful position.

If Gary Johnson was unfairly excluded from polls and earlier debates, then the appropriate remedy isn't to add him to the presidential debate (especially if he was polling less than 2% when he was actually a factor). Why should he be preferenced over the nominees from other non-mainstream political parties? I understand if you feel he wasn't given enough exposure, but the idea that he should be included with Romney and Obama in the debates is silly.

Not voting, though--that'll further your agenda.

Your politics might be more compelling if they didn't feel like FaceBook copy-pasta.

truth.

Romney is not what any conservative wanted, but Obama is past the point of just being a failure. What he has done since taking office is nothing short of treason.
