Thing is you do not have to be a capitalist to be wealthy and intoxicated with the power it brings. Corrupt governments and it’s officials get rich by fleecing the people. A combination of capitalism, debt free democratic governments and a limited amount of social programs is the way to best achieve a good standard of living for most everyone. Unfortunately every society will have “poor people” who just do not want to contribute to society and will stay in the “welfare class”.

I’ll tell you what he’s on: money (and lots of it). These corrupt capitalist louts are so intoxicated by their personal wealth that it matters not if everyone else around them is floundering. Many scientific studies are coming to light now indicating that money is indeed (as has long been thought) a corrupting psychological agent.

I recently went further into this on a post at my blog (Metaphysics of Money):

Fact is that media uses that, and tries to justify someone’s opinion and validate it. All mainstream media is at fault.

Most of the so called mainstream media is biased towards the progressive party and Obama’s administration is getting favorable press just about everywhere. The only conservative media is Fox News so yes they are giving Fortuno a favorable interview. If anyone is so gullible as to believe news medias are neutral…well, money talks and bs walks. I hate to admit it but the U.S. is becoming somewhat of a fascist state. Big corporations and Wall-street are controlling much of our government. Our government is in so much debt it is now at the mercy of big money. All parties are guilty for putting all of us in such dire straits.

The issue in this post is NOT about what other political parties are doing, it is about how the mainstream media tries to present journalism when in fact it is just pushing a campaign agenda. I agree with you that other parties aren’t effective either, I just find it sad and dishonest when political leaders like Fortuño and Obama try to fleece voters,

Even the Obama administration is claiming the economy is slowly getting better in the U.S. Face it, it’s just politics. But what are the other parties here in Puerto Rico offering up as a solution to getting people back to work. It’s easy to focus on the current administration’s failure to jump start the economy, but what solutions do the PDP or the Independent party have to offer? Yes, it is the stupid economy!
