Once upon a time, the government of the United States served the needs of all its people. Wise men, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, saw that the powers of government were used to establish equal justice under the law, a sound national economy with good-paying jobs, excellent public education, in addition to providing all the things needed for the security and safety of the people.

Today, government largely operates for the benefit of the crooked few. Being a Democrat, that especially is to my shame.
