Who owns this country, Wall Street or the people? If one answers 'the people' then one has to realize there is a demand for the end of corruption.

"...it comes from my heart and my brain..."

Donald Trump has his own credentials. How many times has he consulted on projects or a variety of issues. 


Donald Trumps credentials matter. Stop treating him like a man without capacity.


Foreign relations is one aspect of the qualifications for President. I defy anyone to say Donald Trump is going to be a worse President than "W." Bush entered the White House with three bankrupt oil companies.


Where was the qualification of "W" for the presidency? Perhaps a C student at Harvard. 


"W" had no credentials to enter the presidency. He was elected because of his name, not because he had a substantial record of excellence in government. He oversaw some of the highest rates of executions in Texas.


"Good job, Brownie."


There was not one campaign promise he kept. He didn't keep up safe. If 911 happened with Donald Trump in the White House there would be a very different reaction by the country. Donald Trump's views of Iran is best defined by the old Bush view as expressed during a State of the Union speech and his "Axis of Evil Speech." There is nothing new with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is an extension of the "W" White House. 


The people want their country back. It has been in the back pocket of Wall Street for far too long. 


People in poverty are not lazy. They are oppressed.


In 2014, 47 million people lived in Poverty USA. That means the poverty rate for 2014 was 15%.
The 2014 poverty rate was 2.3 percentage points higher than in 2007, the year before the 2008 recession.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the number of people in poverty has remained unchanged from the previous year’s poverty estimate.

Who is going to end poverty in the USA? 
All those who make less (click here) than the Federal government’s official poverty threshold. . . which for a family of four is $24,000.00. People working at minimum wage, even holding down several jobs. Seniors living on fixed incomes. Wage earners suddenly out of work. Millions of families everywhere from our cities to rural communities.
Poverty does not strike all demographics equally. For example, in 2014, 13% of men lived in Poverty USA, and 16% of women lived in poverty. Along the same lines, the poverty rate for married couples in 2014 was only 6%–but the poverty rate for single-parent families with no wife present was up to 16%, and for single-parent families with no husband present 31%.
And though poverty is often perceived as a problem of urban environments and inner cities, the poverty rate in metropolitan areas (15%) is actually lower than the poverty rate for people outside of metropolitan areas (17%).
In 2014, the poverty rate for people living with a disability was 29%. That’s more than 4 million people living with a disability—in poverty....
