Conservatives And Liberals Agree: End The Malignant, Symbiotic Relationship Between Big Government And Big Corporations

While many pretend that liberals and conservatives are too far apart to work together, there are actually many issues on which everyone can agree [15].
For example, both liberals and conservatives hate  the malignant, symbiotic relationship between big government and big corporations [16]:
Conservatives tend to view big government with suspicion, and think that government should be held accountable and reined in.

Liberals tend to view big corporations with suspicion, and think that they should be held accountable and reined in.

***

Conservatives hate big unfettered government and liberals hate big unchecked corporations, so both hate legislation which encourages the federal government to reward big corporations at the expense of small businesses.
Most Americans – whether they are conservative or liberal – are disgusted that virtually all of the politicians are bought and paid for. [17] No wonder people of all stripes have lost all trust in our government [18].
And everyone hates government-enabled fraud. The big banks, of course, committed massive fraud [19]. But the auditors, rating agencies and regulators also all committed fraud [20], which helped blow the bubble and sowed the seeds of the inevitable crash.
Indeed [16]:
Both liberals and conservatives [21] are angry that the feds are propping up the giant banks – while letting small banks fail by the hundreds – even though that is horrible for the economy and Main Street [22].

Our system is broken. Only revolution will fix it. Occupy Wall Street is only the beginning. Protests will continue to pop up across the country. Washington will be shaken up whether they choose it or not. Those who have been living high on the hog under this political climate will be the enemy.
